Interesting fact
The 1 Taler coin from the City of Ulm (German States) made of Silver weighing 29.02g has an interesting fact that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was minted during the reign of Emperor Charles V, who was trying to standardize coinage across the Holy Roman Empire. This coin was one of the first standardized coins minted in the empire and it's design and weight were based on the Nuremberg standard, which was a common standard for coinage in the region. This coin is a great example of the efforts to create a uniform currency system in Europe during the 16th century.
