Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler coin from the City of Ulm, minted in 1635 during the reign of Ferdinand II, is that it features an image of the Roman goddess of fortune, Fortuna, on its reverse side. This depiction of Fortuna was a common motif on coins during the Renaissance period and symbolized the prosperity and wealth of the city. The coin itself was made of silver, which was a valuable and widely used metal for currency at the time.
