Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great change and upheaval in Europe, particularly in the German States. The coin was minted in 1772, just a few years before the outbreak of the French Revolution, which would have a profound impact on the political and social landscape of Europe. Despite this, the coin still bears the image of August Philip Charles of Limburg-Gehmen-Styrum, a prominent figure in the Bishopric of Speyer, highlighting the enduring influence of the church and the nobility during this time period.
