Interesting fact
The 1 Thaler coin from the Abbey of Fulda, featuring Placidus of Droste, was minted in 1688 and made of silver. It's interesting to note that the coin's design includes a unique feature - a small image of a horse and rider on the reverse side, which was a symbol of the Fulda region. This coin is a rare and valuable collector's item, with only a few known examples remaining in existence today.
