Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler - Ferdinand I 1564 coin from the Royal Mint of Silesia is that it features an image of the Holy Roman Emperor, Ferdinand I, on one side, and the coat of arms of the city of Breslau (now Wrocław, Poland) on the other. This coin was minted during a time of great cultural and political change in Europe, and its design reflects the influences of the Renaissance and the Protestant Reformation. The use of silver in the coin's minting also speaks to the value placed on this precious metal during this period.
