Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler coin from Burgraviate of Friedberg (German States) made of Silver is that it features an image of Francis Henry, the ruling Burgrave of Friedberg at the time, on one side, and an image of the Friedberg castle on the other. This coin was minted in 1766 and was used as a standard circulation coin in the German States during that time.
