Interesting fact

The 1 Thaler 1658 coin from the Free City of Augsburg was made of silver, and it features an image of the city's patron saint, St. Anne, on the obverse (front side). The reverse (back side) of the coin depicts the Augsburg coat of arms, which includes a shield with the city's motto, "Gott mit uns" (God with us). This coin was minted during a time of great economic and cultural prosperity in Augsburg, which was a major trading center in the German States during the Renaissance period.
