Interesting fact
The 1 Thaler coin from the City of Hamelin (German States) made of Silver weighing 28.73g has an interesting fact that it was minted during the reign of Emperor Charles V, who was the Holy Roman Emperor from 1530 to 1558. This coin was minted in 1557, which was towards the end of Charles V's reign, and it features an image of the Emperor on one side and the Hamelin coat of arms on the other. This coin is a rare and valuable collector's item for numismatists and historians interested in the history of the Holy Roman Empire and its currency.
