Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler coin from the Duchy of Nassau (German States) is that it features an image of Frederick William III, who was the King of Prussia at the time. This is notable because the Duchy of Nassau was a small state within the Holy Roman Empire, and the fact that the coin features the image of a foreign ruler reflects the political and economic ties between the two regions during that time period.
