Interesting fact
The 1 Regimentsthaler 1625 from Free city of Kempten (German States) made of Silver is an interesting coin because it was issued during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The Thirty Years War had just ended in 1648, and many German states were struggling to rebuild their economies and maintain their independence. The Free City of Kempten, in particular, was an important trading center and minted its own coins to facilitate trade. The 1 Regimentsthaler was a significant denomination, equal to 240 Kreuzer, and was used widely in trade and commerce. The fact that it was made of silver, a valuable and durable metal, further highlights its importance in the economy of the time.
