Crowned imperial eagle, 60 in orb on breast, titles of Maximilian II and date in legend.
Script: Latin
Comment
Numismatique de Murbach (Divo) expresses doubts about the existence of the non dated type.For the 1576-1580 strikes, the mention of the Emperor Maximilian II is posthumous (died 1576).
In 1573, the date is not at the end of the legend but as 4 digits divided by the eagle's heads.
Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Guldenthaler coin is that it features an image of John Ulrich of Raitenau, who was a prominent figure in the German States during the 16th century. He was a prince-abbot of the Imperial abbeys of Murbach and Lüders, and his image on the coin reflects his importance in the region's history and culture.
