Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler coin from the Austrian Empire, minted in Graz during Ferdinand II's reign (1631-1632), is that it was made of silver, specifically the 835/1000 standard, which means it contained 83.5% silver and 16.5% other metals. This coin was used as a means of payment and was widely accepted in trade, and its silver content made it a valuable and reliable form of currency.
