Comment
Weight varies: 28.77-29.14 g. Many of these Thalers are often found with countermark of crowned imperial eagle in circular punch indicating coin was struck at 1 Thaler - 64 Kreuzer, rather than the standard of 68 Kreuzer to the Thaler.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler - Ulrich I 1537 coin from Duchy of Württemberg is that it features an image of a horse on its reverse side. The horse is depicted in a galloping pose, and it is said to symbolize strength, power, and freedom. This design was quite unique for a coin during that time period and adds to the coin's historical significance.
