Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler coin from the Duchy of Lorraine is that it features an image of Francis II, who was the Duke of Lorraine from 1630-1632. He was a member of the House of Lorraine, a powerful noble family that ruled the region for centuries. The coin's design was likely meant to promote the Duke's image and reinforce his authority over the region.
