Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler coin from the Margraviate of Baden-Durlach is that it features an image of Charles Frederick, the ruler of the region, on one side, and an image of the coat of arms of Baden-Durlach on the other. This coin was minted in 1763 and was made of silver with a purity of .833, which means it contains 83.3% silver and 16.7% other metals. It weighs 28.6 grams and is considered a standard circulation coin of its time.
