Comment
Struck from Ducat dies.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ⅛ Thaler - Anna Dorothea (Death) 1704 coin from the Abbey of Quedlinburg (German States) is that it features an image of a skeleton on the reverse side, which was a common symbol of mortality and memento mori during the Baroque period.
