Interesting fact

The 1 Thaler coin from the Free City of Kempten (German States) made of Silver weighing 28.64g 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, such as this 1 Thaler coin. This coin is a testament to the city's resilience and economic strength during a time of turmoil.
