Interesting fact
The Maximilian Frederick 1766 Thaler coin was minted during a time of great economic and political change in the German States. The coin's silver content was worth more than its face value, making it a popular choice for trading and commerce. In fact, the coin was so valuable that it was often used as a form of currency in international trade, particularly in the Dutch East India Company's transactions with China.
