Interesting fact
The 1 Thaler coin from County of Montfort-Peggau (German States) made of Silver features Francis Xavier, a Jesuit priest and missionary, on its obverse side. This coin was minted in 1759, and it's interesting to note that Francis Xavier was canonized as a saint by the Catholic Church in 1622, 137 years before the coin was minted. This highlights the enduring impact and influence of Francis Xavier's work and legacy.
