Interesting fact
The 1 Thaler coin from the Abbey of Fulda, minted in 1539 during the reign of John III of Henneberg, features an image of the Virgin Mary on its reverse side. This was a common motif on coins from the Abbey of Fulda, as the Virgin Mary was considered the patron saint of the abbey. The coin's design was likely meant to symbolize the abbey's devotion to Mary and its commitment to Christian values.
