Interesting fact
The interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique "klippe" design, which refers to the way the coin was cut and stamped. The klippe technique involved cutting the coin into a hexagonal shape and then stamping it with a circular design, creating a distinctive and ornate look. This technique was used in the 16th century in the Principality of Brunswick-Grubenhagen, where this coin was minted, and is a notable feature of coins from this region and time period.
