Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great change and upheaval in the region. The County of East Frisia was part of the Holy Roman Empire, and during the late 16th century, the Protestant Reformation was sweeping across Germany, leading to religious conflicts and political instability. Despite these challenges, the minting of coins continued, and this particular coin is a testament to the enduring power of commerce and trade during this period.
