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 to indicate its connection to the Austrian States. This shield is not found on other coins from the same era, making it a distinctive feature of this particular coin.
