Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during a time of great economic and political change in the region. The Duchy of Jägerndorf was a small state within the Holy Roman Empire, and the issuance of this coin reflects the growing influence of the Renaissance and the rise of modern nation-states in Europe during the 16th century.
