Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler coin from County of Montfort-Peggau (German States) made of Silver is that it features a unique design element - a crowned shield with the initials "F.X." on either side, which stands for Francis Xaver, the ruler of the region at the time the coin was minted in 1759. This design element is not commonly found on other coins from the same era, making it a distinctive feature of this particular coin.
