Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great change and upheaval in Europe, particularly in the German States. The coin was minted in 1750, just a few years before the Seven Years' War (1756-1763) which had a profound impact on the political and economic landscape of Europe. Additionally, the coin was minted during the guardianship of Frederick III of Gotha, who was a prominent figure in the German States and played an important role in shaping the region's political and economic policies.
