Interesting fact

The 1 Thaler coin from the City of Dortmund (German States) made of Silver weighing 29.03g has an interesting fact that it was minted during the time of the Holy Roman Empire, which was a political entity that existed in Central Europe from the 10th to the 19th century. The coin's design and minting process were likely influenced by the Empire's standards and regulations, making it a unique piece of history.
