Interesting fact
The 1 Thaler coin from the County of Montfort-Peggau (German States) made of Silver is interesting because it was minted during the reign of Maximilian Joseph Ernest, who was the last prince-bishop of the Holy Roman Empire. This coin is a rare example of a silver Thaler from that time period and region, and its design features the prince-bishop's coat of arms on one side and the image of Saint George slaying a dragon on the other. Additionally, the coin's mintage was limited, making it a valuable collector's item for numismatists.
