Comment
Slg. Voltz 554Interesting fact
The 1 Thaler ND (1550) coin from the City of Strasbourg (French States) features an image of a knight on horseback on one side, and a shield with the city's coat of arms on the other. The knight is believed to represent the city's patron saint, Saint George, who is often depicted as a knight slaying a dragon. This imagery was likely chosen to symbolize the city's strength and protection.
