Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler coin from the City of Erfurt is that it features an image of Gustav Adolph II, who was the Duke of Saxe-Eisenach and the Archbishop of Magdeburg. He was a prominent figure in the German States during the 17th century and was known for his military campaigns and religious reforms. The coin's design was likely meant to commemorate his reign and influence in the region.
