Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Thalers 1626 coin from the Free City of Augsburg is that it features an image of the city's patron saint, St. Anne, on the reverse side. St. Anne is depicted with her daughter, the Virgin Mary, and her mother, St. Joachim. This image was a common motif on coins from Augsburg during this time period, and it symbolized the city's devotion to its patron saint.
