Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in Europe, specifically during the Thirty Years War (1618-1648). Despite the ongoing conflict, the coin still bears the name "Peace" (Friedens-Thaler) on its reverse side, indicating a desire for peace and an end to the war.
