Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique combination of five different rulers on its obverse side, which is unusual for a standard circulation coin. The coin was minted during a time of political turmoil in the German States, and the inclusion of multiple rulers on the coin may have been a way to symbolize the unity and cooperation of the different territories.
