Comment
Knigge 4561Interesting fact
The 1 Thaler coin from the City of Hamelin (German States) was minted during a time of great change in Europe, particularly in the Holy Roman Empire. The coin was issued during the reign of Charles V, who was the Holy Roman Emperor from 1530 to 1558. During his reign, the Empire faced challenges from the Protestant Reformation and the rise of nationalism, which ultimately led to the Thirty Years' War. Despite these challenges, the coin remains a testament to the economic and cultural significance of the City of Hamelin during that time.
