Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in Europe, known as the Thirty Years War (1618-1648).

Despite the challenges of this period, the coin still maintains a high level of craftsmanship and detail, showcasing the skill of the mint masters and artisans who created it.
