Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during a time of great economic and political change in the German States. The County of Ravensberg was a small state within the Holy Roman Empire, and the issuance of this coin reflects the efforts of the ruling dynasty, the House of Wittelsbach, to maintain economic stability and promote trade during a period of upheaval. The use of billon, a silver-copper alloy, was a common practice during this time, as it allowed for the production of coins with a lower silver content, making them more affordable for everyday transactions.
