Interesting fact
The 2 Thalers coin from the City of Stade (German States) made of Silver weighing 58.34g has an interesting fact that it was minted during a time when the city was part of the Holy Roman Empire, which was a political entity that existed from the 10th to the 18th century. The coin's design and minting process would have been overseen by the local authorities and would have been used as a means of currency for trade and commerce within the empire.
