Interesting fact

The obverse of the coin features an image of Frederick Louis, the Count of Hohenlohe-Ingelfingen, while the reverse features a depiction of the Hohenlohe-Ingelfingen coat of arms. The coat of arms is surrounded by a wreath of oak leaves, which was a common motif in German coinage during this time period. It's worth noting that the County of Hohenlohe-Ingelfingen was a small state within the Holy Roman Empire, and the minting of coins was an important symbol of its sovereignty. The 1 Thaler coin was likely used for everyday transactions within the county, and its design reflects the cultural and political context of the time.
