Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler coin from the Abbey of Kempten is that it features a unique design element - a small image of a bird, known as the "Kempten bird," which is located above the coat of arms on the reverse side of the coin. This bird has been a symbol of the Abbey of Kempten for centuries and is believed to represent the abbey's connection to the natural world and its commitment to preserving the environment.
