Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Thaler coin from the Royal Mint of Silesia is that it features an image of Ferdinand III, the Holy Roman Emperor, on one side, and the coat of arms of Breslau (now Wrocław, Poland) on the other. This coin was minted during a time of great turmoil in Europe, with the Thirty Years' War taking place from 1618 to 1648, and the coin's production was likely a way for the Royal Mint of Silesia to demonstrate its loyalty to the Holy Roman Empire and its ruler.
