Comment
Mule with dates on both sides.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1621 Austrian Empire 1 Thaler coin is that it features a unique "mule" design, which means that it combines the obverse (front) of one coin with the reverse (back) of another coin. In this case, the obverse of the coin features Ferdinand II, while the reverse features the Klagenfurt mint mark. This error in minting created a rare and highly sought-after variation among collectors.
