Interesting fact

The Berthold von Teck coin was minted during a time of great change in the Bishopric of Strasbourg. The coin was issued during the reign of Bishop Berthold von Teck, who was known for his efforts to reform the church and promote religious tolerance. Despite being made of silver, the coin was not widely used due to its low denomination and the fact that it was not widely accepted outside of the Bishopric. Today, the coin is a rare and valuable collector's item, with some examples selling for thousands of dollars.
