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 1603 and was used as a standard circulation coin in the region. It is considered a rare and valuable collector's item today, with some examples selling for thousands of dollars at auction.
