Interesting fact
The ⅑ Thaler 1628 was minted during a time of great economic and political change in the German States. The Thaler was a widely used currency at the time, and the Free City of Augsburg was an important trading center. The coin's design features the city's coat of arms, which includes a stylized eagle and a shield with the city's motto, "Gott ist unser Schutz" or "God is our protection." This motto reflects the city's strong religious beliefs and its reliance on divine protection during a time of political and economic uncertainty.
