Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features three different rulers: Gebhard VII, John George I, and Peter Ernest I. This is unusual because coins typically feature only one ruler or a single ruling family. The fact that this coin features three rulers suggests that it was issued during a time of political complexity or upheaval, such as a period of joint rule or a succession crisis.
