Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted in 1615, during a time when the City of Löwenberg (now known as Lwówek Śląski in Poland) was an important center for trade and commerce in the region of Silesia. The coin's design, which features a depiction of a shooting festival, suggests that the city may have been known for its archery or shooting traditions at the time. Additionally, the fact that the coin was made of silver and weighs 28.45 grams indicates that it was a valuable and significant coin in its time.
