Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted in a private mint, the Josef Schrank Goldwaren and Uhrengeschäft, which was located in the market town of Regen in Bavaria, Germany. This is indicated by the "Regen" mint mark on the coin. Private mints were not uncommon in Germany during the time period, but it's still a unique aspect of this coin's history.
