Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler - Maximilian I 1610 coin from the Teutonic Order (German States) made of Silver is that it features an image of the Teutonic Order's coat of arms on one side and an image of Maximilian I on the other side. This coin was minted during Maximilian I's reign as the Holy Roman Emperor, and it was used as a standard circulation coin in the German States. The use of silver in the coin's minting was a significant departure from the previous coins minted by the Teutonic Order, which were made of copper. This change in material was likely done to increase the coin's value and make it more durable.
