Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler coin from East Frisia is that it features a unique combination of two rulers on its obverse side. The coin was issued during the joint reign of Edzard II and John, who were both members of the Cirksena dynasty that ruled the County of East Frisia from 1460 to 1744. This dual leadership is reflected in the coin's design, which shows both rulers standing side by side, with Edzard II on the left and John on the right. This unusual design element sets the coin apart from other coins of the time and makes it a fascinating piece of numismatic history.
