Interesting fact
The 1 Thaler 1548 coin from the City of Erfurt was made of silver, and it features a unique design that sets it apart from other coins of its time. On one side, the coin bears the image of a shield with the Erfurt coat of arms, while on the other side, it features a depiction of the Virgin Mary and the Child Jesus. This combination of religious and civic imagery was a common feature of coins during the Renaissance period, and it reflects the close relationship between the church and the state in Erfurt at the time.
