Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Guldenthaler coin from the Landgraviate of Upper Alsace is that it features an image of Ferdinand I, the Holy Roman Emperor, on one side, and the coat of arms of the Landgraviate on the other. This coin was minted during Ferdinand's reign, which lasted from 1563 to 1564, and was used as a standard circulation coin in the Austrian States. The fact that it was made of silver and weighs 28 grams adds to its historical significance and value as a collector's item.
