Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique combination of two rulers, Günther XLI and John Günther, who co-ruled the County of Schwarzburg from 1564 to 1570. This is reflected in the coin's design, which includes both rulers' names and titles on opposite sides of the coin. This coin is a rare example of a coin that was issued during a period of co-rule, making it a valuable piece for collectors of German numismatics.
