Interesting fact
The 1 Thaler 1638 coin from the City of Metz (French States) made of Silver features an image of a crowned shield with the city's coat of arms on one side and the letters "S.D.M." (an abbreviation for "Sigillum Domini Metensis," meaning "Seal of the Lord of Metz") on the other side. This coin was issued during the reign of Louis XIII of France and was used as a standard circulation coin in the French States. It's interesting to note that the coin's design and inscriptions reflect the city's rich history and cultural heritage, and its silver content makes it a valuable collector's item for numismatists.
