Interesting fact

The 1 Thaler coin from the City of Rostock (German States) made of Silver is interesting because it was issued during a time when the city was an important member of the Hanseatic League, a powerful trading confederation in Northern Europe. The coin's design features the city's coat of arms, which includes a griffin, a symbol of protection and strength, and a shield with the city's motto "Fortuna et Fides" (Fortune and Faith). This coin was used as a medium of exchange and played a significant role in the city's economy during that time.
