Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ¼ Thaler coin from the Austrian Empire is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in Europe, particularly during the Thirty Years War (1618-1648). Despite the conflict, the coin remained a stable currency and was widely used throughout the empire, indicating the importance of trade and commerce during this period.
