Interesting fact
The obverse of the coin features an image of Mary, the mother of Jesus, surrounded by the inscription "MARIA · HEILAND · STALER" which means "Mary, Mother of the Savior, Thaler". This coin was issued during the reign of Mary's son, Emperor Charles V, who was a strong supporter of the Catholic Church and had a special devotion to Mary. The coin's design was meant to promote the Catholic faith and to emphasize the importance of Mary's role in the Christian religion.
