Interesting fact

The 1 Thaler - Five Brothers 1623 coin from the Duchy of Saxe-Weimar features a unique design element: it has five crowned brothers standing together on the reverse side, representing the five sons of Duke Johann Wilhelm, who ruled the duchy from 1572 to 1602. This design was meant to symbolize the unity and strength of the duchy's ruling family.
