Comment
1613 uses recut dies from 1610 (Klem#181 & 184, MT#591)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 image of a shield with the Austrian coat of arms, which was added to the coin's reverse side in 1612. This was a nod to the coin's issuing authority, the Austrian States, and served as a symbol of the region's connection to the larger Austrian Empire.
