Interesting fact

The iron used to mint this coin was likely sourced from the nearby Harz mountains, which were known for their rich iron ore deposits. The use of iron in the production of coins was a common practice during this time period, as it was a readily available and affordable material. However, the use of iron in coinage also had a practical advantage, as it made the coins more durable and resistant to wear and tear compared to coins made of other materials.
