Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler - Florenz of Welden 1709 from Abbey of Corvey (German States) made of Silver is that it features an image of Saint Florian, the patron saint of firefighters, on one side. This is significant because the Abbey of Corvey was known for its firefighting efforts and this coin was minted to commemorate the abbey's efforts in protecting the local community from fires.
