Interesting fact
The 2 Thalers coin from the City of Neuss (German States) made of Silver weighing 58.38g has an interesting fact that it was minted during the reign of Duke Johann Wilhelm of Cleves, who was known for his extensive coinage reforms, which included the introduction of new coinage systems and the standardization of coin weights and denominations. This coin is a representation of his efforts to create a uniform currency system in the German States.
