Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features three different rulers: Volrat VI, Wolfgang III, and John George II. This is unusual because coins typically 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 regions or states represented by the rulers.
