Interesting fact

The 1 Thaler coin from the Free City of Regensburg (German States) made of Silver weighing 29.15g has an interesting fact that it was minted during the reign of Emperor Francis I, who was the first emperor of the House of Habsburg-Lorraine and ruled from 1745 to 1765. This coin was minted in 1766, which was the year following the Emperor's death, and it features an image of the Emperor on one side and the coat of arms of Regensburg on the other. This coin is a rare and valuable collector's item for numismatists and historians interested in the history of the Holy Roman Empire and its successor states.
