Interesting fact
The 1 Thaler coin from 1554 featuring Ernest of Bavaria is a rare and valuable coin, with only a few known examples remaining in existence. One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in the region, with the County of Glatz (now part of Poland) being caught in the middle of a conflict between the Holy Roman Empire and the Kingdom of Poland. Despite this, the coin still features the standard circulation design of the time, with an image of Ernest of Bavaria on one side and the coat of arms of the County of Glatz on the other. This coin is a testament to the enduring legacy of Ernest of Bavaria and the rich history of the region.
