Comment
Mint mark for Matthias FellnerInteresting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler - Ferdinand II (Vienna) 1624 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 from 1619 to 1637 and the King of Bohemia from 1617 to 1619. This was a period of significant turmoil in Europe, with the Thirty Years' War (1618-1648) taking place during Ferdinand's reign. Despite these challenges, the coin remains a valuable piece of numismatic history, providing a glimpse into the economic and political climate of the time.
