Wide Show-Thaler 1541 Hungarian, Kremnitz Transylvania, a Hungarian province, supplied much of Europes silver and gold at the time. Alchemists regarded silver as the moons metal, imbued with magic powers. It was also the currency of cash, in particular the Thaler: a coin minted throughout sixteenth-century Europe. In an era marked by constant threat of war, precious silver vessels were literally worth their weight in currency—easily melted down in times of need. [Elizabeth Cleland, 2017. Wide Show-Thaler.
