Interesting fact
The 1 Thaler coin from the Free City of Regensburg, minted in 1766, is interesting because it features a unique design element - a small shield with the initials "S.R." (for "Stadt Regensburg") located above the crown on the obverse side. This shield was added to the coin's design to indicate that it was minted in Regensburg, which was a free imperial city in the Holy Roman Empire at the time. This coin is a rare and valuable collector's item, highly sought after by numismatists and historians interested in the history of German currency.
