Comment
Minted from silver ore found at the Biberer mine.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler - William IX (Konventionstaler) 1774-1778 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 1778. During his reign, the county experienced significant economic growth and cultural development, and the minting of this coin was a reflection of that prosperity. 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 240 years ago, this coin remains a valuable and sought-after collector's item among numismatists today.
