Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler "Ausbeutetaler" coin is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the initials "W" and "R" on either side of the coat of arms, which stands for the names of the two rulers, William I of Greiffenstein and Reinhard of Hungen. This coin was minted during their joint reign from 1623 to 1625 in the County of Solms-Braunfels, which was a small state in the German States. The coin was made of silver, which was a valuable and durable material at the time, and it was used as a standard circulation coin, indicating its widespread use and importance in the local economy.
