Interesting fact
The 1 Thaler - Florenz of Welden 1706 coin from the Abbey of Corvey (German States) is interesting because it features an image of Saint Florian, the patron saint of firefighters, on one side, and an image of the Abbey of Corvey on the other. This coin was minted during a time when the Abbey of Corvey was an important religious and political center in the region, and it serves as a reminder of the significant role that religious institutions played in the history of Europe.
