Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique combination of two coats of arms on its reverse side. The first coat of arms belongs to the Hohenlohe family, while the second coat of arms represents the Langenburg family. This combination symbolizes the joint rule of the two families over the region of Hohenlohe during the 17th century.
