Interesting fact
The 1 Thaler coin from County of Fugger-Babenhausen-Wellenburg (German States) made of Silver is interesting because it was issued during the reign of Maximilian II, who was the Holy Roman Emperor from 1623 to 1651. This coin was minted in 1621, just a few years before Maximilian II's ascension to the throne, and it features his portrait on one side and the coat of arms of the County of Fugger-Babenhausen-Wellenburg on the other. This coin is a rare and valuable piece of numismatic history, providing a glimpse into the economic and political landscape of the German States during the early 17th century.
