Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great religious and political upheaval in Europe, particularly in the German States. The Bishopric of Bamberg, where the coin was minted, was a powerful ecclesiastical state that played a significant role in the political and religious conflicts of the time. The coin's minting during this period highlights the complex and often contentious relationship between the church and secular authorities in the region.
