Interesting fact

The 1 Thaler 1626 coin from the City of Worms (German States) made of Silver features an image of a worm on its reverse side. This unique design was meant to symbolize the city's name, "Worms," which is derived from the Latin word "Vormatia," meaning "worm-shaped." This coin is a rare and valuable collector's item, with only a few examples known to exist in mint condition.
