Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler coin - Gebhard Truchseß of Waldburg 1582 from Archbishopric of Cologne (German States) is that it features an image of a knight on horseback, which was a common motif on coins during the Renaissance period. The knight is depicted in full armor, holding a shield and a lance, symbolizing the power and prestige of the Archbishopric of Cologne. The coin's design was likely inspired by the Renaissance art movement, which emphasized realism and attention to detail, and was meant to convey the wealth and influence of the Archbishopric.
