Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in the German States. The coin was issued during the reign of Hermann of Hatzfeldt-Wildenburg-Krottorf-Gleichen, who was a powerful prince-elector and one of the wealthiest men in the Holy Roman Empire. The coin's design, which features an image of Hermann on one side and the Hatzfeld family crest on the other, reflects the importance of the Hatzfeld family in the region and their influence on the local economy. Additionally, the fact that the coin was made of silver, a valuable and sought-after metal at the time, speaks to the wealth and prosperity of the region during this period.
