Comment
Note: 1519-1534, the Duchy of Würtemberg was sold by the Swabian League (Schwäbischer Bund) to Charles V after expelling Duke Ulrich, recovered by the Duke from Ferdinand I in 1534.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler - Ferdinand I (St Veit) 1522 coin 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 St. Veit on the other. This coin was minted during a time when the Austrian Empire was still a powerful force in Europe, and the image of the emperor was a symbol of the empire's strength and influence. Additionally, the fact that it is made of silver and weighs 26.9 grams makes it a valuable and collectible item for numismatists.
