Interesting fact
The 1 Thaler coin from Öttingen-Spielberg (German States) made of Silver is interesting because it was minted during the reign of John Aloys I, who was a member of the Öttingen-Spielberg family, a noble family that ruled over the region for centuries. The coin features an image of John Aloys I on one side and the coat of arms of Öttingen-Spielberg on the other. It was minted in 1759, a time when silver coins were widely used in trade and commerce, and it is considered a rare and valuable collector's item today.
