Comment
Minted from silver ore found at the Biberer mine.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler - William IX (Konventionstaler) 1771 from County of Hanau-Münzenberg (German States) made of Silver is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued during the reign of William IX, who was the Count of Hanau-Münzenberg from 1763 until his death in 1821. During his reign, the county experienced significant economic growth and prosperity, which led to the minting of this coin and others like it. The coin's design features an image of William IX on one side and the Hanau-Münzenberg coat of arms on the other, symbolizing the county's independence and sovereignty. Despite being minted over 200 years ago, this coin remains a valuable and sought-after collector's item among numismatists today.
