Interesting fact
The Dreier coin from the County of Hohnstein was minted during a time of great change in the region. The County of Hohnstein was part of the Holy Roman Empire, which was a political entity that spanned much of Central Europe during the Middle Ages. In the early 16th century, the Holy Roman Empire was in the process of dissolving, and the County of Hohnstein was one of the many territories that were seeking independence. This coin was minted during this time of transition, and it reflects the political and economic changes that were taking place in the region.
