Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler - Ferdinand III (Breslau) 1639-1655 coin from the Royal Mint of Silesia is that it features an image of the Holy Roman Emperor Ferdinand III on one side and the coat of arms of Breslau (now Wrocław, Poland) on the other. This coin was minted during a time of great turmoil in Europe, with the Thirty Years' War taking place from 1618 to 1648, and the coin's production was likely a way for the Royal Mint of Silesia to demonstrate its loyalty to the Holy Roman Empire and its ruler. Despite the challenges of the time, the coin's silver content and intricate design have made it a highly sought-after collector's item among numismatists today.
