Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features three different rulers: John George I, Christoph II, and John Ernest. 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 may have been issued during a time of political unity or cooperation between the different ruling families. Additionally, the fact that it is made of silver and weighs 28.24 grams suggests that it was a significant coin with a high value.
