Mint mark inverted chevron for Matthias Fellner.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler coin from the Austrian Empire, minted in Vienna in 1624-1625, is that it features an image of Emperor Ferdinand II on one side and the Imperial Eagle on the other. The coin was made of silver and weighed 28.4 grams, which was a significant amount for a circulating coin at that time. This coin was also known as a "Taler" or "Thaler," which was a term used in the Holy Roman Empire and later in the Austrian Empire to refer to a silver coin worth 30 Kreuzer. The coin was widely used in trade and commerce throughout Europe during the 17th century.
