Interesting fact

The 1 Thaler coin from the Royal Mint of Silesia, minted between 1723 and 1740 during the reign of Charles VI, features an interesting design element - a unique coat of arms on the reverse side. The coat of arms depicts the Habsburg double-headed eagle, which was a symbol of the Holy Roman Empire, of which Charles VI was the emperor. This design was used specifically for coins minted in Breslau, which is now Wroclaw, Poland. This fact highlights the rich history and cultural significance of the coin, making it a valuable collector's item for numismatists and history enthusiasts.
