Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler coin from the Duchy of Nassau (German States) made of Silver (.833) and issued in 1809 during the reign of Frederick August is that it features an image of the duke on one side and a crowned shield with the coat of arms of Nassau on the other. This coin was used as a means of payment in the duchy and was also used in trade with other German states. It is a rare and valuable collector's item today, with some mint-condition coins selling for thousands of dollars.
