Comment
Mintmaster DS - David SteinInteresting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler - John Frederick (Klippe) 1625 coin from Duchy of Württemberg is that it features a unique "klippe" or "cut" design, which was a distinctive feature of coins minted during John Frederick's reign. The coin's design includes a stylized portrait of John Frederick, surrounded by intricate engravings and a decorative border. The use of this design element not only adds aesthetic value to the coin but also serves as a testament to the advanced minting techniques employed during that time.
