Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great change in the German States. Frederick III of Hohenzollern was the first Hohenzollern king to rule the Holy Roman Empire, and his reign marked the beginning of a new era of Hohenzollern dominance in the region. This coin, minted during his reign, is a tangible reminder of that historical period.
