Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique combination of three different coats of arms on its reverse side, representing the three ruling families of the County of Regenstein: the House of Regenstein, the House of Botho, and the House of Caspar Ulrich. This design was used to symbolize the unity and cooperation between the three families, who ruled the county together in a shared government.
