Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler - Bogislaw XIV 1628 coin from Duchy of Pomerania-Stettin (German States) is that it features an image of a griffin on its reverse side. The griffin is a mythical creature with the body of a lion and the head and wings of an eagle, and it was often used in heraldry to symbolize strength, courage, and protection. The inclusion of the griffin on this coin may have been intended to convey the power and authority of the Duchy of Pomerania-Stettin.
