Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler 1742 from City of Dortmund (German States) is that it was minted to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the city's joining the Hanseatic League, a powerful mercantile and cultural organization that played a significant role in the development of Northern Europe during the Middle Ages.
