Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was countermarked, which means that a new owner's mark was added to the coin, indicating that it had been verified and approved by a certain authority. This practice was common in the German States during the 16th century, and it helped to ensure the authenticity and value of the coin.
