Interesting fact
The 1 Thaler coin from the Abbeys of Werden and Helmstedt (German States) made of Silver is interesting because it was minted during a time when the abbeys were experiencing significant economic growth and political influence. The coin's design features an image of Benedict, the patron saint of Europe, and the abbeys' coat of arms, symbolizing the powerful role that religion played in the region's economy and society during that time.
