Interesting fact
The 1 Thaler coin from County of Stolberg-Wernigerode (German States) made of Silver weighing 29.15 g, issued in 1725 during the reign of Christian Ernest I, is an interesting piece of numismatic history. One fascinating fact about this coin is that it was minted using a unique technique called "powdered wolf's teeth" which was a method of adding a decorative texture to the coin's surface. This technique involved sprinkling powdered wolf's teeth onto the coin's surface before striking it, resulting in a distinctive, rough finish that gave the coin a unique appearance. This feature makes the coin stand out among other coins of its time and adds to its collectible value.
