Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 1 Thaler 1666-1670 from City of Hannover (German States) made of Silver is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the coat of arms of the city of Hannover, which was added to the obverse (front) side of the coin. This shield was not present on earlier versions of the coin, and its inclusion on the 1666-1670 issue was a deliberate choice made by the mint to distinguish the coin from other similar coins in circulation. This small detail provides a fascinating insight into the attention to detail and craftsmanship that went into the production of this coin.
