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 Bishopric of Regensburg, where the coin was minted, was a powerful and influential ecclesiastical state that played a significant role in the politics and trade of the region. The fact that this coin was made of silver, a valuable and widely used metal at the time, suggests that it was likely used for everyday transactions and commerce, and its relatively small weight of 1.01g indicates that it was a coin of relatively low denomination, intended for use by the common people.
