Interesting fact
The Maximilian 1611 coin was minted during the reign of Maximilian I, who was the Grand Master of the Teutonic Order at the time. The coin features an image of Maximilian on one side and the Teutonic Order's coat of arms on the other. What's interesting is that the coin was minted using a unique technique called "frosting," which gives the coin a frosted appearance. This technique was achieved by applying a special solution to the coin's surface, which created a textured, frosted effect. This feature makes the coin stand out from other coins of its time and adds to its unique historical significance.
