Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in the Holy Roman Empire. The Thirty Years War had just begun in 1618, and the Archbishopric of Mainz, where the coin was minted, was a key player in the conflict. Despite the upheaval, the coin still maintains a high level of craftsmanship and detail, showcasing the skill of the mint masters and artisans who created it.
