Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the coat of arms of the House of Wettin, to which Landgraf Balthasar belonged. This shield is placed above the main image of the coin, which depicts the Landgraf himself. This subtle detail highlights the importance of heraldry and family lineage in the medieval period, and adds an extra layer of historical significance to the coin.
