Interesting fact

The 1 Kreuzer coin from the County of Hanau-Lichtenberg, minted during the reign of John Reinhard I (1623-1624), features an unusual design element - a small image of a horse on the reverse side. This horse symbol was added to the coin's design to signify the importance of horse breeding and trading in the region, which was a significant economic activity during that time.
