Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler - Ferdinand II (Hall) 1621-1623 coin is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in the Austrian Empire. The coin was issued during the reign of Ferdinand II, who was the Holy Roman Emperor and King of Bohemia, and it was minted at the Hall mint in Tyrol, which was an important center for coin production at the time. The coin's design features an image of Ferdinand II on one side and the Austrian coat of arms on the other, and it was made of silver with a purity of .890, which was a common standard for coins of its time. Despite its age, the coin remains a popular collector's item among numismatists today, and it is a fascinating piece of history that offers a glimpse into the economic and political climate of the Austrian Empire during the early 17th century.
