Interesting fact
The 1 Thaler coin from Correggio (Italian States) made of Silver is interesting because it was minted during a time of great economic change in Europe. The coin was introduced as part of a new currency system implemented by the ruling Duke of Correggio, and it was designed to be used as a standardized form of payment across the region. This was a significant departure from the traditional system of bartering and using foreign currencies that had been in place until then. The coin's silver content also made it a valuable commodity, and it was widely accepted in trade throughout Europe.
