Interesting fact
The coin features an image of Dorothea, the abbess of the Abbey of Quedlinburg, who ruled the abbey from 1615 to 1617. She was known for her strong leadership and her efforts to promote the abbey's economic and cultural development. The coin was minted during her reign and is a rare example of a coin that features a female leader from that time period.
