K/O/R 313, Schnee 211Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Reichsthaler - John Casimir (Sterbetaler) 1633 from Duchy of Saxe-Coburg-Eisenach (German States) made of Silver is that it features an image of John Casimir, the ruler of the duchy, on the obverse (front side), while the reverse (back side) bears the coat of arms of the duchy. This coin was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe, and its design reflects the influences of the Renaissance and the Protestant Reformation. Additionally, the use of silver in the coin's minting was a significant departure from the traditional use of copper and other base metals in coinage at the time, signifying the growing wealth and prosperity of the region.
