Interesting fact
The 1 Thaler coin from the City of Erfurt, minted during the reign of Christina of Sweden (1645-1648), features an interesting design element - a unique coat of arms on the reverse side. The coat of arms combines the symbols of the Holy Roman Empire (a double-headed eagle) and the City of Erfurt (a shield with a cross), reflecting the complex political landscape of the time. This coin is a rare and valuable example of a standard circulation coin from the German States during the 17th century.
