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 stylized portrait of Rudolf II, the Holy Roman Emperor, with a long, flowing beard that is depicted in a spiral shape. This distinctive design was a hallmark of the coinage of the time and sets it apart from other coins of the period.
