Comment
Pooled by Krause with 1615 that has a lion head looking backwards on shoulder (Klem#21-25).Interesting fact
The 1 Thaler coin from the Landgraviate of Upper Alsace (Austrian States) minted in 1614 under Maximilian III is an interesting piece of history. One fascinating fact about this coin is that it was used as a means of payment for the tolls on the Rhine River, which connected the North Sea to the Mediterranean Sea and was a crucial trade route during that time. This coin played a vital role in facilitating trade and commerce in the region, making it a valuable piece of numismatic history.
