Schleusingen mintInteresting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great religious and political upheaval in Europe, particularly in the Holy Roman Empire, where the County of Henneberg-Schleusingen was located. The coin's minting period coincided with the Protestant Reformation, which was a major religious and cultural shift that challenged the authority of the Catholic Church and led to the emergence of Protestantism as a major force in Christianity. Additionally, this coin was minted during the reign of William V, who was a prominent figure in the German States and played a significant role in the political and religious conflicts of the time. Despite these challenges, the coin remains a valuable piece of history and a testament to the enduring legacy of the County of Henneberg-Schleusingen.
