Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Angster ND (1401-1408) from Counts of Habsburg-Laufenburg (Aargau) made of Silver weighing 0.37 g is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued during the reign of King Sigismund of Luxembourg, who was the last king of the House of Luxembourg and ruled from 1384 to 1437. During his reign, the Habsburgs and the Luxembourgs were struggling for power and influence, which led to a series of conflicts and political alliances that would shape the future of Europe. Despite this turmoil, the coin remains a testament to the craftsmanship and artistry of medieval coin makers and offers a glimpse into the economic and political climate of the time.
