Comment
Mintmaster MF - Michael FedererInteresting fact
The 1 Thaler coin from the Free City of Regensburg (German States) made of Silver weighing 29g has a unique feature. It has a distinctive "split-date" feature, where the date on the obverse (front) side of the coin is split into two parts, with the first two digits on the left and the last two digits on the right. This unusual feature was used to indicate that the coin was minted during a time of political upheaval and change in the region.
