Interesting fact
The 1 Thaler coin from the Duchy of Schleswig-Holstein-Norburg-Plön, minted in 1761 during the reign of Frederick Charles, features an unusual design on its reverse side. Instead of the typical depiction of a coat of arms or other symbol of the duchy, the coin features a scene of a farmer plowing a field with a pair of oxen. This design was meant to represent the agricultural wealth and prosperity of the region, and it makes the coin stand out among other coins of the time.
