Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the coin is that it was minted during the reign of Maximilian II, who was the Holy Roman Emperor from 1564 to 1576. He was a member of the House of Habsburg and was known for his efforts to centralize power and promote religious tolerance within the Holy Roman Empire. The coin's design and minting process were likely overseen by Maximilian II himself, making it a unique piece of history that reflects the political and economic climate of the time.
