Comment

1 Thaler = 30 Groschen = 360 Pfennig

From 1833 onwards, the different workshop markings are slightly larger.
The dot behind XIV disappears from 1832.

The 1828 vintage is a one-off. Ten pieces were struck, nine of which were recast (cf. Schrötter). Olding notes, however, that other examples appeared over time.

Interesting fact
