Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features three different rulers on its obverse side: Frederick III, Albert, and John I. This is a unique feature, as most coins typically feature only one ruler. The fact that three rulers are depicted on this coin highlights the complex political landscape of the German States during the 16th century, where multiple rulers held power simultaneously.
