Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ¼ Thaler coin from the Teutonic Order (German States) is that it features an image of Albert of Hohenzollern, the Grand Master of the Teutonic Order, on one side, and the coat of arms of the Teutonic Order on the other. This coin was minted during Albert's reign from 1520 to 1521 and was used as a means of payment within the Teutonic Order's territories. Despite being made of copper, which is a relatively common metal, the coin's historical significance and rarity make it a valuable collector's item for numismatists today.
