Interesting fact
The 1 Thaler 1638 coin from the Free City of Augsburg was made of silver, and it features a unique design that sets it apart from other coins of its time. The obverse side of the coin depicts a portrait of the Holy Roman Emperor, Ferdinand III, while the reverse side features the Augsburg coat of arms, which includes a stylized image of the city's patron saint, St. Anne. This coin was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe, and its design reflects the influences of the Renaissance and the Protestant Reformation. Despite being over 400 years old, this coin remains a popular collector's item among numismatists today.
