Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted to commemorate the birthday of Louis Frederick Charles, the Count of Hohenlohe-Neuenstein-Öhringen, in 1804. This coin is a rare example of a circulating commemorative coin made of gold, which was not common during that time period. Additionally, the coin's design features an image of Louis Frederick Charles on one side and the coat of arms of the County of Hohenlohe-Neuenstein-Öhringen on the other, making it a unique and valuable collector's item for numismatists.
