Interesting fact
The 1 Thaler coin from the Free City of Kempten (German States) made of Silver weighing 28.57g has an interesting fact that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was minted between 1537 and 1539, a period when the Holy Roman Empire was facing economic challenges and political instability. Despite these challenges, the Free City of Kempten was able to maintain its independence and mint its own coins, like this 1 Thaler, which was used as a medium of exchange and a store of value. This coin is a testament to the resilience and resourcefulness of the people of Kempten during a time of great uncertainty.
