Comment
Mintmaster - Andreas FrickeInteresting fact
The Hildesheim Thaler was first introduced in 1624 and was used as a standardized currency across the German States. It was made of silver and had a standardized weight and purity, which made it a reliable and trustworthy form of currency. The Hildesheim Thaler was also used as a model for other German States to create their own currencies, and it played an important role in the development of the German economy during the 17th century.
