Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ¼ Thaler 1708 from Free city of Augsburg (German States) made of Silver is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the letters "S.A." (for "St. Augsburg") located above the crown on the obverse side of the coin. This shield was added to the coin's design to indicate that it was minted in the Free City of Augsburg, which was an independent city-state within the Holy Roman Empire. This coin is a rare and valuable example of a silver coin from this time period and region, and its unique design element makes it particularly interesting to collectors and historians.
