Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler coin from the City of Cologne (German States) is that it was minted during the reign of Charles VII, who was the Holy Roman Emperor from 1742 to 1745. This coin was minted in 1742, which was a significant year for Charles VII, as he was crowned as the Holy Roman Emperor in February of that year. The coin's design features an image of Charles VII on one side and the coat of arms of the City of Cologne on the other. The use of silver in the coin's minting was also a notable feature, as silver was a valuable and highly sought-after metal at the time.
