Interesting fact
The 1 Thaler coin from the Abbey of Essen, minted in 1672 during the reign of Anna Salome I, features an interesting design element - a unique blend of Catholic and Protestant imagery. On one side, the coin bears the image of the Virgin Mary, while on the other, it features the coat of arms of the Abbey of Essen, which includes a Protestant motto. This blending of religious symbols reflects the complex religious landscape of the German States during that time period.
