Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler coin from the Landgraviate of Upper Alsace is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the initials "RF" (Rudolf Füchs) stamped on the reverse side. This was a signature mark used by the mintmaster, Rudolf Füchs, to authenticate the coin's origin and quality.
