Interesting fact
The Thaler coin from the Duchy of Lorraine, which was minted during the reign of Anthony ND (1508-1544), was an important trade coin in its time. It was made of silver and weighed 30.9 grams, which made it a substantial coin that could be used for large transactions. Interestingly, the coin's design featured an image of the Duke of Lorraine on one side and the coat of arms of the duchy on the other, which symbolized the power and authority of the ruling family. Despite being minted over 500 years ago, some of these coins still exist today and are highly prized by collectors.
