Comment
Rommel 81, Volle 77Interesting fact
The 1 Thaler (Patronatstaler) coin from the City of Freiburg (German States) made of Silver weighing 28.51g has an interesting fact that it was used as a means of payment for the construction of the Freiburg Cathedral, which was built between 1200 and 1513. The coin was minted during the reign of Duke Karl Eugen of Württemberg, who was a patron of the arts and sciences, and the coin's design reflects this, featuring an image of the duke on one side and the Freiburg Cathedral on the other.
