Comment
Four types referenced by Klemetsch (KLEM# 231-234), two variants according to KM.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler coin from the Landgraviate of Upper Alsace is that it features an image of Leopold V, also known as Leopold the Good, who was the ruler of the Austrian States from 1623 to 1632. He was known for his efforts to promote the arts and sciences, and his reign was marked by a period of relative peace and prosperity in the region. The coin's design, which includes Leopold's portrait and a coat of arms, reflects the importance of the ruler and the Austrian States during this time period.
