Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in the German States. The County of Hanau-Lichtenberg was a small territory located in the present-day state of Hesse, and it was ruled by the House of Hanau, a noble family. The coin was minted during the reign of John Reinhard, who was the Count of Hanau-Lichtenberg from 1610 to 1611. This was a time of great upheaval in the region, as the Thirty Years' War was raging across Europe and the Holy Roman Empire was in decline. Despite these challenges, the County of Hanau-Lichtenberg was able to maintain its independence and prosperity, and the minting of this coin is a testament to the region's economic resilience and stability during this time.
