Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great religious and political change in Europe. The Trinity Church, which is featured on the coin, was built during the Renaissance period and was a symbol of the Catholic Church's influence in the region. However, the Free City of Regensburg, where the coin was minted, was a Protestant city, and the coin's minting was likely a way for the city to assert its independence and religious identity. This coin is a unique representation of the complex religious and political landscape of 17th century Europe.
