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 Ravensberg was a small state within the Holy Roman Empire, and the minting of this coin reflects the growing influence of the Renaissance and the rise of modern nation-states in Europe during the late 16th and early 17th centuries.
