Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Örtgen coin is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in the Principality of East Frisia. The coin was introduced as part of a series of reforms aimed at stabilizing the economy and strengthening the state's finances, which had been weakened by years of conflict and political instability. Despite these challenges, the Örtgen coin remained a popular and widely used form of currency throughout the region, and its design has become a symbol of East Frisia's rich history and cultural heritage.
