Interesting fact

The 1 Thaler coin from the City of Weissenburg (French States) was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The Thaler was a widely used denomination across many German states and cities, and its use spread to other parts of Europe as well. The fact that this coin was made of silver and weighs 29.12 grams suggests that it was a significant coin with a high value, and its minting and circulation would have played an important role in the economy of the time.
