Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler coin from the City of Cologne (German States) is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the coat of arms of the Archbishop of Cologne, who was the ruler of the city at the time. This shield is located on the reverse side of the coin, surrounded by a wreath of leaves. This design element sets the coin apart from other coins of the same era and denomination, and makes it a distinctive and valuable collector's item for numismatists.
