Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler coin from the Austrian Empire, minted between 1835 and 1836, is that it was one of the last silver coins to be issued by the empire before the switch to a gold standard. This coin, made of silver (.833), weighs 28.06 grams and features an image of Emperor Ferdinand I on one side and the Austrian coat of arms on the other. Its design and composition reflect the economic and political changes taking place in Europe during that time, as many countries were transitioning from silver-based currencies to gold-based ones.
