Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler coin from the Austrian Empire, minted between 1817 and 1824 during the reign of Francis I, is that it was designed by the famous Austrian artist and engraver, Joseph Daniel Böhm. Böhm was known for his work on various coins and medals during the Austrian Empire and his designs were highly regarded for their beauty and detail. The 1 Thaler coin features an image of Francis I on one side and an image of the Austrian coat of arms on the other, both of which were designed by Böhm. This coin is a great example of the artistic and cultural heritage of the Austrian Empire during that time period.
