Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great change and upheaval in Europe, particularly in the German States. The coin was minted in 1751, just a few years before the start of the Seven Years' War, which would have a profound impact on the political and economic landscape of Europe. Despite this, the coin still maintains a high level of craftsmanship and beauty, with its gold content and detailed design making it a valuable and sought-after collector's item.
