Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler coin from Duchy of Styria (Austrian States) made of Silver is that it features an image of Ferdinand II, who was the ruler of the region at the time, on one side, and the coat of arms of the Duchy of Styria on the other. This coin was minted in 1614 and was used as a standard circulation coin during that time. It's made of silver, which was a valuable and widely used metal for coinage in the 17th century.
