Interesting fact
The coin features an image of the Holy Roman Emperor, Leopold I, on one side, and the coat of arms of the City of Halberstadt on the other. This coin was minted during a time of great turmoil in Europe, with the Thirty Years' War (1618-1648) having recently ended, and the coin's design reflects the political and religious tensions of the time.
