Interesting fact
The 1626 Augsburg Thaler was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The Thirty Years War had just begun, and the Holy Roman Empire was struggling to maintain its power and influence. Despite these challenges, the Free City of Augsburg continued to thrive as a center of trade and commerce, and the 1626 Thaler coin is a testament to the city's economic resilience during this time.
