Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Thalers (Ursulataler; Dreikönigstaler) ND (1516-1517) from City of Cologne (German States) is that it features an image of the Three Wise Men, also known as the Three Kings or the Magi, on one side, and the coat of arms of the City of Cologne on the other. This coin was minted during a time when the Catholic Church was a major influence in Europe, and the image of the Three Wise Men was a symbol of the city's religious devotion. Additionally, the coin's silver content and intricate design make it a valuable collector's item for numismatists today.
