Interesting fact
The ¼ Thaler coin from the Imperial abbeys of Murbach and Lüders (German States) made of Silver is interesting because it was issued during the reign of Leopold of Austria (Klippe) between 1614-1626, and it features an image of the Holy Roman Emperor on one side and the coat of arms of the abbeys on the other. This coin was used as a standard circulation coin during that time and was made of silver, which was a valuable and widely accepted metal for currency at the time.
