Interesting fact
The 1 Thaler coin from the Royal Mint of Silesia, featuring Leopold I (Oppeln) and minted between 1699 and 1702, is notable for its unique design. The coin's obverse features an image of Leopold I, while the reverse features the coat of arms of the Duchy of Oppeln, which was a region in Silesia (now part of Poland) that was ruled by the Habsburgs at the time. The coin's design was created by the mint's chief engraver, Johann Wolfgang Müntz, who was known for his skill in crafting intricate and detailed designs. The coin's silver content and unique design make it a valuable and sought-after collector's item among numismatists today.
