Interesting fact
The 1/24 Thaler coin from the City of Hamelin (German States) made of Silver weighing 1.38g is interesting because it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued during the reign of King Frederick IV of Denmark, who ruled from 1606 to 1611. During this period, the Holy Roman Empire was dissolved, and the German States were experiencing significant political and economic changes. The coin's design and mintage can provide valuable insights into the economic and political conditions of the time. Additionally, the fact that it was made of silver, a valuable and durable metal, highlights the importance of trade and commerce during this period.
