Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in Europe, specifically during the Thirty Years War (1618-1648). Despite the conflict, the coin still bears the name of Ferdinand, the ruler of the Barony of Batenburg, indicating that the region was able to maintain some level of autonomy and economic activity during this period.
