Comment
(qq) Cross over crescent - mintmaster Ulrich GebhardtInteresting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler - Ferdinand I (Joachimsthal) 1529 coin from the Kingdom of Bohemia is that it was used as a model for the modern-day dollar sign ($). The coin's design features a crowned shield with the number "1" on one side and the letters "T" and "F" on the other, which stood for "Thaler" and "Ferdinand," respectively. This design was later adopted by the United States and became the symbol for the American dollar.
