Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler coin from Counts of Auersperg (Austrian States) made of Silver is that it features an image of Johann Weikhard, the Count of Auersperg, on one side, and the Austrian coat of arms on the other. This coin was minted in 1654 and was used as a standard circulation coin in the Austrian States during that time.
