Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 1 Thaler 1541-1546 from City of Dortmund (German States) made of Silver is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the city's coat of arms, which was added to the obverse (front) side of the coin. This shield was not present on earlier issues of the coin, and its inclusion on the 1541-1546 issue was likely done to signify the city's growing importance and influence in the region.
