Comment
Just one year of typing for this guy! Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler 1759 coin from the Free City of Regensburg is that 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 of the coin. This shield was added to the coin's design to indicate that it was issued by the city of Regensburg, rather than by a larger political entity. This detail highlights the coin's origins and adds to its historical significance.
