Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler coin from the Principality of Schwarzenberg is that it features a unique blend of religious and political symbolism. The obverse side of the coin bears the image of Ferdinand William Eusebius and Maria Anna (Kremnitz), while the reverse side features the coat of arms of the Schwarzenberg family, which includes a shield with a cross and a lion. This blending of religious and political symbols reflects the complex power dynamics of the time, where the church and state were closely intertwined.
