Weight varies 27.60-28.40g and diameter 33-38mmInteresting fact
The 1 Thaler 1601 coin was minted during a time of great turmoil in the Hungarian States, specifically during the Thirty Years' War (1618-1648). Despite the conflict, the coin still maintains a high level of craftsmanship and design, featuring an intricate depiction of the Holy Roman Emperor, Ferdinand II, on one side and the Kronstadt coat of arms on the other. This coin serves as a testament to the resilience and skill of the mint masters and artisans who created it during such a challenging period in history.
