Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great religious and political upheaval in Europe, particularly in the German States. The coin was issued by Adolphus Henry, who was a Protestant prince and a member of the House of Salm, which was a powerful noble family in the region. The coin's minting was likely a way for Adolphus Henry to promote his religious and political agenda, as well as to solidify his power and influence in the region. Despite the turmoil of the time, the coin remains a valuable piece of history and a testament to the enduring legacy of the Salm family.
