Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler 1624 from City of Göttingen (German States) is that it features an image of the city's patron saint, St. Alban, on its reverse side. St. Alban is depicted holding a cross and a palm branch, symbolizing his martyrdom and sainthood. This coin was minted during a time when the city of Göttingen was an important center of trade and commerce, and the image of St. Alban was meant to symbolize the city's connection to the Christian faith and its commitment to fair trade and honest business practices.
