Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Guldengroschen "Klappmützentaler" coin is that it features a unique design element known as a "klappmütze," which is a type of hat that can be opened and closed. The hat is depicted on the coin as being worn by the three individuals featured on the coin, Frederick III, Albrecht, and Johann. This design element was used as a symbol of unity and cooperation among the three rulers, and it is a distinctive feature that sets this coin apart from other coins of the time.
