Interesting fact
The 1 Thaler coin from the City of Strasbourg, issued in 1617 to commemorate the Centenary of the Reformation, features a unique design element - a small shield with the initials "S.D." (for "Soli Deo," or "To God Alone") above the coat of arms of Strasbourg. This shield was added to the coin's design to symbolize the city's commitment to the Protestant Reformation and its principles.
