Interesting fact
The 1 Thaler coin from the City of Cologne (German States) made of Silver weighing 28.77g was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued during the reign of Holy Roman Emperor Charles V, who was trying to standardize coinage across the empire. The Cologne Thaler was one of the first coins to be issued in the new standardized format, which made it an important piece in the history of European currency.
