Interesting fact

The 1 Thaler coin from the Abbey of Kempten, minted in 1625 during the reign of John Eucharius of Wolffurt, features an unusual design element - a small image of a wolf on the reverse side. This wolf symbolizes the town of Wolffurt, where the coin was minted, and is a nod to the region's history and culture.
