Comment
Dudik 191Interesting fact
The obverse of the coin features the image of Maximilian I, Holy Roman Emperor, while the reverse features the coat of arms of the Teutonic Order. The Teutonic Order was a German military order that was formed in the 12th century to protect Christian pilgrims traveling to the Holy Land. The order played a significant role in the politics and military conflicts of the region for centuries, and its influence can still be seen in the modern-day German state. It's worth noting that the coin's design and the fact that it was made of silver, which was a valuable and durable material at the time, reflect the power and wealth of the Teutonic Order during this period.
