Interesting fact
The 1 Thaler coin from the Margraviate of Baden-Durlach, issued during the reign of Frederick V in 1624, features an image of the ruler on horseback, surrounded by an ornate border. What's interesting about this coin is that it was minted using a unique technique called "powdered silver," which involved mixing silver with other metals to create a more durable and resistant alloy. This technique was commonly used in the German States during the 17th century, and it gave the coins a distinctive blue-gray color that is still visible today.
