Interesting fact
The 1 Thaler coin from the City of Freiburg was minted during a time of great economic and political change in the German States. The coin was introduced in 1542, just a few years after the Protestant Reformation began to take hold in the region, and it was used as a standard unit of currency for trade and commerce. The coin's design featured the city's coat of arms on one side and the image of a crowned lion on the other, symbolizing the city's independence and sovereignty. Despite its relatively small size, the 1 Thaler coin played an important role in the local economy and was widely used throughout the region. Today, it is a highly sought-after collector's item among numismatists and historians interested in the history of the German States.
