Coins have their own history connected with events that take place in the year of release. The role of the lord who governs the state is great in choosing appearance, material, circulation, and other factors. Coins have a collectible and historical significance. Cash signs have a market value and are a means of profitable investment of money, due to the high prices of rare coins.
In 1719, the Austro-Hungarian monarchy issued a single coin, the thaler. This is a round, silver coin, the size of 43 mm. In the 18th century, the thaler is valued as a means of payment between countries, and is one of the first international currencies. Appearance design is different from medieval coins.
Thaler looks more like a medal: it is a large, beautiful coin. Thaler appears after the depreciation of the silver coins that were in circulation at that time. The 300 year history of the coin made the thaler the standard of silver coins in Europe.
The Hungarian Kremnitz Mint produces in 1719 a silver coin worth ½ Hungarian thaler.
In the Scandinavian countries, thaler is called daler. Sweden released 17 coins this year. Among them: the silver rixdaler, the prototype of the German Reichstaler, bronze, as well as copper Daler, denomination ½, 1 and 4. Images of some coins are known only by descriptions.
The 1719 gold coins of Sweden are ducats, in denominations of 1 and 2.
The episcopacy of Salzburg of the Roman Empire for two centuries minted thalers of almost unchanged appearance. On the obverse - Saint Ruprecht with a bag of salt, a symbol of the wealth of the country, and a monopoly on the sale of salt. On the reverse is the arms of the bishopric or Madonna and Child.
Thaler: zilberdukat, exported at this time to the Russian empire from the province of West Frisia of the Dutch Republic and minted into rubles and pennies. Thalers are bought in Europe at a lower price, and repetition is beneficial to Russia.
1719 adds new coins to the collection of thalers - various designs, copper, bronze, silver. Coinage is associated with various historical events and provides interesting information for study.
