Comment
Mintmaster NL - Nikolaus LongerichInteresting fact
The 1 Thaler coin from the City of Dortmund (German States) made of Silver weighing 29.32g has an interesting fact that it was minted during a time when the city was part of the Holy Roman Empire, which was a political entity that existed from the 10th to the 19th century. The coin's design and minting process would have been overseen by the imperial authorities, making it a unique piece of history from that time period.
