Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler 1623 from City of Rottweil (German States) is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the letters "S" and "R" on either side of the coat of arms, which stands for "Sigismundus Rex" (Sigismund the King), referring to Sigismund III Vasa, the King of Poland and Grand Duke of Lithuania at the time.
