Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ¼ Thaler 1623 from Free city of Augsburg (German States) is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the letters "S" and "A" on either side of the coat of arms, which stands for "Sigismundus Augustus" (Sigismund Augustus), the ruler of the city at the time the coin was minted. This shield was added to the coin's design to signify the coin's authenticity and to differentiate it from other coins circulating in the region.
