Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 1 Thaler 1647-1655 from Free imperial city of Frankfurt (German States) made of Silver is that it features an image of the city's patron saint, St. Bartholomew, on one side, and the Holy Roman Emperor, Ferdinand III, on the other. This coin was minted during a time of great turmoil in Europe, with the Thirty Years' War taking place from 1618 to 1648, and the coin's design reflects the political and religious tensions of the era.
