The 1 Thaler coin from the Royal Mint of Silesia, minted during the reign of Joseph I (Breslau) in 1707-1708, is an interesting piece of history. One fascinating fact about this coin is that it was used as a means of payment for the soldiers of the Silesian army during the Great Northern War. This coin played a significant role in the war efforts and was an important part of the economy of the region at that time.
