Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe, particularly in the German States. The use of silver in the coin's minting was a significant departure from the traditional use of copper and other base metals in coinage at the time, and it reflects the growing influence of trade and commerce in the region. Additionally, the fact that the coin was minted anonymously, without the name of the ruler or mint master, suggests that it was likely produced during a period of political instability or conflict, when the authority of the ruling powers was being challenged.
