Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique combination of five different names on its obverse side - Bruno, William, John George, Volrad, and Jobst. This is unusual because typically, coins from this time period and region featured only one or two names. The fact that five names are listed on this coin suggests that it may have been a special issue or commemorative coin, possibly issued to celebrate a significant event or anniversary. Additionally, the fact that the coin is made of silver and weighs 1.56g suggests that it was a valuable and significant coin in its time.
