Comment
Mintmaster - Henning SchreiberInteresting fact
The coin features an image of the Holy Roman Emperor, Ferdinand II, on one side, and the coat of arms of the City of Halberstadt on the other. This coin was minted during a time of great turmoil in Europe, with the Thirty Years' War (1618-1648) taking place, which makes it a unique piece of history.
