Interesting fact
The 1 Thaler coin from Öttingen-Wallerstein (German States) made of Silver is interesting because it was minted during the reign of Wolfgang IV, who was a powerful prince-bishop in the Holy Roman Empire. The coin features an image of Wolfgang IV on one side and the coat of arms of Öttingen-Wallerstein on the other. It was minted to commemorate the 25th anniversary of Wolfgang IV's rule and is considered a rare and valuable collector's item among numismatists.
