Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 1 Thaler - Johann Joseph (Pattern) 1761 from Counts of Khevenhüller-Metsch (Austrian States) made of Silver weighing 28.108 g is that it was minted during a time of great change in the Austrian Empire. The coin was minted in 1761, just a few years before the death of Empress Maria Theresa, who had ruled the empire for over 40 years. Her death led to a period of political upheaval and change, which had a significant impact on the currency and economy of the empire. Despite this, the Pattern 1 Thaler remained a popular and valuable coin throughout this time, and it continues to be highly sought after by collectors today.
