Interesting fact

The 1⁄24 Thaler coin from the City of Hildesheim (German States) made of Silver weighing 1.56 g is interesting because it was used as a means of payment during a time when the city was part of the Holy Roman Empire, and it features an image of the city's patron saint, St. Godehard, on one side and the coat of arms of Hildesheim on the other.
