Interesting fact

The 1 Dreier - Martin 1597-1598 coin from the County of Regenstein (German States) is notable for its unique design, which features a crowned shield with the initials "M" and "R" on either side, surrounded by foliage. This design was used to symbolize the unity of the two regions, Regenstein and Blankenburg, which were united under a single ruler, Count Martin. The coin's silver content and relatively low weight also make it a valuable and sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
