Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 2 Thalers ND (1740-1745) coin from the Free City of Regensburg is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the letters "S.R." (for "Sigillum Reipublicae," or "Seal of the Republic") located above the coat of arms on the obverse side of the coin. This shield was added to the coin's design to signify the coin's issuance by the Free City of Regensburg, which was a sovereign state within the Holy Roman Empire.
