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 Habsburg coat of arms, which was added to the coin's reverse side to signify the authority of the Holy Roman Emperor, Rudolf II. This coin was minted in 1606, during Rudolf's reign, and its silver content and intricate design made it a valuable and sought-after currency in its time.
