Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features four different rulers, Gebhard VII, Albert VII, Philip II, and John George I, which is unusual for a single coin. This suggests that the coin was minted during a time of political unity or cooperation between the different rulers, which could be an interesting historical footnote. Additionally, the fact that it's made of silver adds to its value and rarity, making it a prized collector's item for numismatists.
