Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 3 Thalers - Ferdinand II 1626 coin from the Free City of Augsburg is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the letters "S.A." (for "Sigillum Augsburgi") located above the coat of arms on the reverse side of the coin. This shield was added to the coin's design to indicate that it was minted in Augsburg, a free imperial city in the Holy Roman Empire.
