Interesting fact
The Mechanische Seilerwarenfabrik (Mechanical Rope Factory) in Füssen, Bavaria, where this coin was minted, was once a significant producer of ropes and cordage for ships and other maritime vessels. The factory was founded in 1864 and operated until the mid-20th century, and its products were known for their high quality and durability. Today, the building that housed the factory has been converted into a museum, where visitors can learn about the history of rope-making and the importance of this industry in the region.
