Interesting fact
The 1 Thaler - Maximilian I 1643 coin was minted during a time of great turmoil in Europe, known as the Thirty Years War (1618-1648). This conflict had a profound impact on the coinage of the time, as many mints were forced to produce coins with lower silver content or even use alternative metals like copper to meet the demand for currency. Despite these challenges, the 1 Thaler - Maximilian I 1643 coin remained a standard circulation coin made of silver, weighing 28.85 grams, and was an important part of the economy in the Electorate of Bavaria (German States).
