Comment
Minted from silver found in the St. Andreas mine.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler coin from County of Hohnstein is that it features an image of Ernest VII, the ruler of the county, on one side, and an image of the coat of arms of the county on the other side. This coin was minted during a time of great economic and political change in the region, and it is a rare example of a silver coin from this period that has survived in good condition.
