Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The County of Hanau-Lichtenberg was a small territory located in what is now Germany, and the coin was likely used for everyday transactions within the county. Despite its small size, the coin was made of silver, which was a valuable and sought-after metal at the time. The fact that it was minted during the reign of Philip V (1590-1596) suggests that it was part of a larger effort to standardize currency across the German States, which was an important step towards the development of modern economic systems.
