Comment
This was the first ever Thaler coin from southern Germany, previously the larger silver coins where called Guldengroschen.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler - Ulrich 1507 coin from the Duchy of Württemberg is that it features an image of Duke Ulrich of Württemberg on one side, while the other side bears the coat of arms of the German States. This coin was minted in 1507, making it over 500 years old, and it is made of silver with a purity level of .9375, which is relatively high for a coin of its time. Despite its age, many of these coins have survived in good condition and are highly sought after by collectors today.
