Interesting fact
The 1 Thaler coin from the City of Hamelin (German States) made of Silver weighing 28.64g has an interesting fact that it was minted during the reign of Duke Christian IV of Brunswick-Lüneburg, who was known for his extensive coinage reforms, which included the introduction of new coinage systems and the standardization of coin weights and denominations across the German States. This coin is a representation of the efforts made by Duke Christian IV to create a uniform currency system in the region.
