Interesting fact
The 1 Thaler 1542 from City of Kaufbeuren (German States) made of Silver features an image of St. Mary with the child Jesus on one side and the coat of arms of Kaufbeuren on the other. This coin was minted during a time when the Holy Roman Empire was still in existence, and it's fascinating to think that this coin was used as currency during that time period.
