Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great change and upheaval in Europe. The late 18th century saw the rise of the Enlightenment and the fall of monarchies, and this coin was minted during that tumultuous period. Despite the changes happening around it, the coin remained a symbol of stability and continuity, as it was used in everyday transactions and was a trusted store of value.
