Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great religious and political significance in the Free City of Regensburg. The Trinity Church, which is featured on the coin, was built during the Thirty Years' War (1618-1648), a devastating conflict that ravaged much of Europe and had a profound impact on the German States. Despite the turmoil of the time, the coin's minting suggests that the city was still capable of producing beautiful works of art and currency. Additionally, the fact that it was made of gold (.986) and weighs 6.9g speaks to the value and craftsmanship that went into its creation.
