Interesting fact
The 1 Thaler coin from the Principality of Schwarzenberg, minted between 1721 and 1725, features an image of Adam Francis Charles, the ruling prince of the principality at the time. The coin was made of silver, which was a valuable and widely used metal for coinage during that period. It's worth noting that the Principality of Schwarzenberg was a small state within the Holy Roman Empire, and the coinage issued by the principality was used for local trade and commerce. The 1 Thaler coin was likely used for larger transactions, as it was equivalent to 300 smaller units of currency, such as groschen or kreuzer. I hope that's helpful! Let me know if you have any other questions.
