Interesting 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 Austrian States. The coin's minting period, 1569-1579, coincided with the Protestant Reformation and the subsequent Catholic Counter-Reformation, which led to significant changes in the religious and political landscape of the region. Despite these challenges, the coin still maintains its value and historical significance, serving as a testament to the enduring power of art, commerce, and culture.
