Comment
Mintmaster GM - Georg MeinhartInteresting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features three different rulers: Bruno II, William I, and John George IV. This is unusual because typically, coins feature only one ruler or a single ruling family. The fact that this coin features three rulers suggests that it may have been issued during a time of political unity or cooperation between the different ruling families. Additionally, the fact that it was issued in 1606 makes it a rare and valuable historical artifact.
