Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features three different rulers: George III, Ludwig IV, and Christian. This is unusual because coins typically feature only one ruler, and it suggests that this coin was issued during a time of political unity or cooperation between these three rulers. Additionally, the fact that it is made of gold and weighs 14 grams makes it a valuable and rare coin.
