Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique combination of four different rulers on its obverse side. The coin was issued during a time of political turmoil in the German States, and the joint rule of these four men was a rare occurrence. This coin is a tangible representation of that historical moment and serves as a reminder of the complex political landscape of the time.
