Interesting fact
The 1 Thaler coin from the County of Fugger-Babenhausen-Wellenburg, minted in 1624 during the reign of Maximilian II, features an interesting error on its reverse side. The coin's reverse was intended to depict the coat of arms of the Fugger family, but instead, it features a mirrored image of the coat of arms, with the eagle's wings and shield reversed. This error, known as a "mint mistake," adds a unique touch to the coin's history and makes it a fascinating piece for collectors.
