Interesting fact
The 1 Thaler coin from the County of Moers, featuring Hermann of Neuenahr, is a rare and valuable coin among collectors due to its age and historical significance. It was minted during a time of great turmoil in Europe, when the Protestant Reformation was challenging the authority of the Catholic Church, and the Holy Roman Empire was facing internal conflicts. The coin's design, which features Hermann of Neuenahr on one side and the County of Moers' coat of arms on the other, reflects the political and religious tensions of the time. Despite its age, many of these coins have survived to this day and are highly sought after by collectors and historians.
