The 1 Thaler coin from Kaufbeuren (German States) made of Silver is interesting because it was minted during a time of great economic change in the region. The coin was issued during the reign of Duke Wilhelm IV of Bavaria, who was known for his efforts to reform the currency and economy of his territories. The coin's design features the Duke's portrait on one side and the coat of arms of Kaufbeuren on the other, symbolizing the city's connection to the Bavarian duchy. The use of silver in the coin's minting was also significant, as it reflected the growing importance of trade and commerce in the region during this period.
