Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler - Charles Ferdinand Vasa (Klippe) 1632 from Bishopric of Breslau (Silesia) coin is that it features a unique design element known as a "klippe" or "clip," which is a small, tab-like projection that extends from the edge of the coin. This feature was used to prevent the coin from being clipped or shaved, which was a common practice at the time to collect precious metal. The klippe also served as a way to easily identify the coin as authentic.
