Interesting fact
The 1 Thaler 1619 coin from the City of Hildesheim features an image of the city's patron saint, St. Godehard, on one side, and the coat of arms of the city on the other. St. Godehard was a bishop who was known for his kindness and generosity, and he is still revered as a protector of the city and its people. The coin's design serves as a reminder of the city's rich history and cultural heritage.
