Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler coin from the City of Cologne (German States) made of Silver weighing 27.8g is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued during the reign of Holy Roman Emperor Leopold I, who ruled from 1658 to 1705. During this period, the Holy Roman Empire was facing challenges from the growing power of neighboring nations such as France and the Netherlands, and the coinage of the empire was an important symbol of its economic and political strength. The 1 Thaler coin was a widely used denomination during this time and was an important part of the currency system of the German States.
