Interesting fact

The obverse of the coin features an image of Frederick II, also known as Frederick the Wise, who was the Elector Palatine from 1534 to 1544. He was a member of the House of Wittelsbach and played an important role in the politics of the Holy Roman Empire during his time. The coin's design was likely created by a skilled engraver of the time, and it showcases the level of craftsmanship and attention to detail that was common in coin production during the Renaissance period.
