Interesting fact
The Plappart coin from Laufenburg (Aargau) is a rare and valuable coin, with only a few examples known to exist. It's believed that the coin was minted in the early 16th century, during the reign of Maximilian I, Holy Roman Emperor. The coin's design features the image of a standing figure, believed to be Saint George, on one side, and the coat of arms of Laufenburg on the other. The fact that it's made of silver and weighs 1.85 grams makes it even more unique and valuable to collectors.
