Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler coin from the Bishopric of Breslau (Silesia) made of Silver weighing 28.45g is that it was minted during the reign of Francis Louis, who was the Prince-Bishop of Breslau from 1714 to 1732. This coin is a rare example of a standard circulation coin from the early 18th century, and its silver content makes it a valuable collector's item for numismatists.
