Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the ¼ Thaler 1627 from City of Göttingen (German States) is that it features an image of the city's patron saint, St. Alban, on its reverse side. St. Alban is depicted holding a cross and a palm branch, symbolizing his martyrdom and sainthood. This design was common on many coins from the City of Göttingen during this time period, and it serves as a reminder of the city's rich history and cultural heritage.
