Interesting fact
The 1 Thaler coin from the Austrian Empire, minted in Vienna during the reign of Matthias II (1609-1610), features an interesting design element - a crowned shield with the Habsburg double-headed eagle on the obverse side. This symbolized the empire's power and authority, and the use of silver in the coin's composition added to its value and durability.
