Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler coin from the Bishopric of Breslau (Silesia) made of Silver is that it features an image of Francis Louis, the Duke of Saxe-Lauenburg, who was a prominent figure in the region during the 17th century. The coin was minted in 1694, during his reign, and it is considered a rare and valuable collector's item among numismatists today.
