Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler coin from Charles XI's reign (1673-1674) is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in the German States. The coin was issued during the Swedish possession of Bremen-Verden, a region that was under Swedish rule from 1648 to 1712. This period saw significant changes in the region's economy, including the introduction of new currency and the development of trade and commerce. The 1 Thaler coin, made of silver, was an important part of this economic landscape and was widely used in trade and commerce during this time.
