Interesting fact
The 1 Thaler coin from the County of Montfort-Rothenfels (German States) made of Silver is interesting because it was minted during the reign of Wolfgang, who was the Count of Montfort-Rothenfels from 1536 to 1537. This coin is a rare example of a silver thaler from the German States during the 16th century, and its mintage was likely limited due to the scarcity of silver at the time. Additionally, the coin's design features the coat of arms of the County of Montfort-Rothenfels on one side and an image of Wolfgang on the other, making it a unique and valuable collector's item for numismatists.
