Interesting fact
The Thaler coin from the City of Schaffhausen, produced between 1620 and 1624, is notable for its unique design. One side features the image of a pelican, which was a symbol of charity and selflessness in medieval times. This design choice was likely intended to convey the values of the city and its people. Additionally, the coin's silver content and weight of 29.8 grams make it a valuable and collectible item for numismatists.
