Interesting fact
The 1/24 Thaler coin from the Free City of Kempten (German States) made of Silver weighing 1.88g is interesting because it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The Thaler was a widely used currency at the time, and the fact that this coin was minted in a free city like Kempten speaks to the city's economic and political autonomy. Additionally, the use of silver in the coin's minting highlights the value placed on this precious metal during that time period.
