Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great change in Germany, as the Holy Roman Empire was in the process of dissolving and the Protestant Reformation was gaining momentum. This coin, bearing the image of two ruling counts, represents the complex political landscape of the German States during this period.
