Comment
Bernhart 45Interesting fact
The 1 Thaler 1542 from City of Kaufbeuren (German States) made of Silver features an image of St. Mary with the child Jesus on one side and the coat of arms of Kaufbeuren on the other. The coin was minted during a time when the city was an important trading center and a member of the Schwäbische Bund, a powerful trading federation in southern Germany. The coin's design reflects the city's religious and political significance during that period.
