Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features two rulers, John IV Alchimysta and Albert Achilles, who were both members of the House of Hohenzollern, a powerful noble family in Germany. This coin was minted during their joint reign over the Margraviate of Brandenburg-Franconia, which was a region in the north of what is now Germany. The coin's design features the two rulers standing side by side, with John IV Alchimysta holding a scepter and Albert Achilles holding a shield with the Hohenzollern coat of arms. This coin is a rare example of a coin that was minted during a brief period of joint rule between two members of the same family, and it is highly sought after by collectors of rare coins.
