Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler coin from Duchy of Franconia (German States) made of Silver is that it features a unique design element - a crowned shield with the coat of arms of the House of Wettin, which was the ruling dynasty of Saxony at the time. This design was used on many coins during the 17th century, but the specific design on this coin is quite rare and sought after by collectors.
