Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler coin from the Landgraviate of Upper Alsace (Austrian States) made of Silver is that it features an image of Rudolf II, who was the Holy Roman Emperor at the time, on one side, and the coat of arms of Upper Alsace on the other. This coin was minted in 1605 and was used as a standard circulation coin in the region. It's made of silver, which was a valuable and widely used metal for coinage during that time period.
