Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features three different rulers: Charles Wolfgang, Louis XV, and Martin. This is unusual because typically, coins feature only one ruler or a single governing body. The fact that this coin features three rulers suggests that it may have been issued during a time of political unity or cooperation between different regions or states. Additionally, the fact that it is made of silver and weighs 28.60 grams suggests that it may have been a valuable and widely used coin during its time.
