Interesting fact
The Double Thaler 1511 from the City of Thann (French States) is an interesting coin because it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued during the reign of King Louis XII of France, who was known for his military conquests and his efforts to centralize power in the French state. The coin's design features an image of the king on one side and the coat of arms of the City of Thann on the other, symbolizing the connection between the local city and the French monarchy. Additionally, the fact that it was made of silver and weighs 55.71 grams makes it a valuable and collectible item for numismatists today.
