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 shield with the initials "RF" (Rudolf Füchs) stamped on the reverse side. This shield was added to the coin's design to indicate that it was minted during the reign of Rudolf II, who was the Holy Roman Emperor at the time. This small detail provides a fascinating insight into the coin's history and the significance of its minting during a specific period.
