Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features three different rulers: Charles Wolfgang, Louis XV, and Martin. This is unusual as most coins typically feature only one ruler. Additionally, the fact that it was minted in Öttingen, which is a small town in the German state of Bavaria, makes it a rare and unique coin.
