Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design, showcasing a portrait of August Hoffmann, the owner of a mixed goods store in Hilpoltstein, on the obverse (front side), while the reverse (back side) features the coat of arms of Hilpoltstein. This design was chosen to commemorate Hoffmann's contributions to the town's economy and his involvement in the local community.
