Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Guldenthaler - Louis the Pious 1572 coin from Duchy of Württemberg is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the coat of arms of the County of Württemberg, which was added to the obverse (front) side of the coin. This shield was not present on earlier issues of the Guldenthaler, and its inclusion on this particular coin was likely done to signify the importance of the County of Württemberg and its ruling family, the House of Württemberg.
