Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler ND (1712) coin from the City of Memmingen (German States) is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the letters "S" and "M" on either side of the coat of arms, which stands for "Sigismundus Maximus" (Sigismund the Great), the ruler of the city at the time the coin was minted. This shield is not found on other coins from the same era, making it a distinctive feature of this particular coin.
