Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Thalers - Ferdinand II (Vienna) 1625-1636 coin is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in the Austrian Empire. The Thirty Years War, which lasted from 1618 to 1648, had a significant impact on the empire's economy and coinage. The minting of this coin was likely a response to the economic demands of the time, as the empire struggled to finance its military efforts and maintain economic stability. Despite the challenges of this period, the coin remains a valuable and interesting piece of numismatic history.
