Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great political upheaval in the German States. The Duchy of Bavaria-Ingolstadt was a powerful state in southern Germany, and the coinage of this period reflects the political and economic changes that were taking place during this time. The coin features the images of both Stephan III and Louis VII, who were dual rulers of the duchy during this period. Despite the turmoil of the time, the coinage of the Duchy of Bavaria-Ingolstadt remained consistent and of high quality, making it a valuable piece for collectors today.
