(Menzel: BBB)Interesting fact
The coin features a unique design on its reverse side, showcasing a stylized image of a hop plant, which is a nod to the city of Freising's long history of hop cultivation and brewing. In fact, Freising is home to one of the oldest breweries in Germany, the Weihenstephan Brewery, which has been producing beer since 1046!
