Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler - Eberhard III 1669 coin from Duchy of Württemberg is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the coat of arms of the House of Württemberg, which was added to the obverse (front) side of the coin. This shield was not present on earlier issues of the coin, and its inclusion on the 1669 issue was a deliberate choice made by the mint masters to signify the importance of the Württemberg dynasty and their rule over the region. This small detail provides a fascinating insight into the history and politics of the time, and serves as a reminder of the rich cultural heritage of the region.
