Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Tournose - Reinhard II (Groschen Tournois) ND (1369-1396) coin from the Lordship of Schönforst (German States) is that it features a unique blend of medieval Gothic and Renaissance styles in its design. The obverse side of the coin depicts a crowned and armored king, Reinhard II, holding a scepter and a shield with the coat of arms of the County of Hohenlohe, while the reverse side features a stylized image of a groschen, a type of silver coin that was widely used in Central Europe during the Middle Ages. The blending of these two styles reflects the cultural and artistic influences of the time period in which the coin was minted.
