Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 3 Thalers - Ferdinand III (Graz) 1639-1641 coin is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in the Austrian Empire. The Thirty Years War had just ended in 1648, and the empire was facing economic and political challenges. Despite these challenges, the coin was made of silver, indicating the value and wealth of the Austrian Empire at that time.
