Interesting fact

The 2 Thalers coin from the Free City of Augsburg (German States) made of Silver weighing 57.96g has an interesting fact that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The Thirty Years War had just begun in 1618, and the Free City of Augsburg was an important trading center and minting location. The coin's design features the city's coat of arms and other symbols of the city's wealth and power. Despite the turmoil of the time, the coin's minting was a testament to the city's resilience and economic strength.
