Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted to commemorate the coronation of Emperor Ferdinand III, who was crowned on June 18, 1653, in Regensburg, Germany. The coin's design features an image of the emperor on one side and the coat of arms of Regensburg on the other. The coin's gold content and weight also make it a valuable and sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
