Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler coin from the Imperial abbeys of Murbach and Lüders is that it features an image of Leopold William of Austria, who was a prominent military leader and statesman during the Thirty Years' War. He played a significant role in the conflict, serving as the Governor of the Spanish Netherlands and leading the Holy Roman Empire's forces against the Protestant powers. The coin's design, which includes Leopold William's portrait and various symbols of power and authority, reflects his importance and influence during this tumultuous period in European history.
