Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Fürstengroschen coin from the County of Regenstein is that it features a unique triangular shape, which was a distinctive feature of coins minted by the Counts of Regenstein during the 16th century. This triangular shape was used to differentiate the coins from other currencies in circulation at the time and to symbolize the three regents, Ernest I, Botho, and Caspar Ulrich, who ruled the county together. The coin's design and shape have made it a popular collector's item among numismatists and historians interested in the history of German coinage.
