Comment
Bernh. 119Interesting fact
The 1 Thaler 1547 from City of Kaufbeuren (German States) made of Silver features an image of St. Mary with the child Jesus on the obverse (front side), while the reverse (back side) bears the coat of arms of the city of Kaufbeuren. This coin was minted during a time when the Holy Roman Empire was still in existence, and it's fascinating to think that this coin may have been used in everyday transactions by people living in that era.
