Interesting fact
The 1 Mattier - Martin ND (1594-1597) coin from the County of Regenstein (German States) made of Silver is interesting because it was minted during a time of great change in Europe, particularly in the Holy Roman Empire. The coin was minted during the reign of Emperor Rudolf II, who was known for his love of art and science, and his attempts to reform the Empire. The coin's design, featuring the coat of arms of the County of Regenstein on one side and the image of St. Martin on the other, reflects the cultural and religious influences of the time. Additionally, the use of silver in the coin's minting was a significant choice, as silver was a valuable and highly sought-after metal at the time.
