Interesting fact

The 2 Thalers coin from the Margraviate of Baden-Baden, issued in 1629 during the reign of William, is an interesting piece of history. One fascinating fact about this coin is that it was made of silver, which was a valuable and widely used metal during that time. The coin weighs 58.51 grams, which is relatively heavy compared to modern-day coins. This coin's silver content and weight reflect the importance of the Margraviate of Baden-Baden as a powerful and wealthy region in Germany during the 17th century.
