Comment
Mintmaster - Johann Christoph HoleisenInteresting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler coin from the Swabian Circle (German States) made of Silver is that it features a unique combination of religious and secular imagery. On one side, the coin bears the image of Eberhard Louis, the Duke of Württemberg, while on the other side, it features a depiction of Bishop Marquart Rudolph, the Prince-Bishop of Augsburg. This blending of religious and secular symbols reflects the complex political and religious landscape of the German States during the 17th century.
