Interesting fact
The 1 Thaler coin from the County of Hohenlohe-Kirchberg, minted in 1738 during the reign of Charles August, features an interesting design element - a crowned shield with the county's coat of arms, surrounded by a wreath of leaves and berries. This design was a common motif in German States coins of the time, symbolizing the unity and strength of the region.
