Interesting fact

The Fugger family, who were the rulers of the County of Fugger-Glött, were known for their wealth and influence in the region. In fact, they were one of the wealthiest families in Europe during the 16th and 17th centuries, with their wealth primarily coming from textile production and trade. This coin, which features Francis Ernest Fugger, is a testament to the family's power and influence in the region during that time.
