Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler coin from Saxe-Weimar is that it features a unique double portrait of both Frederick William and John, who were co-rulers of the duchy at the time. This double portrait design was a rare occurrence in coinage during that period, and it adds to the coin's historical significance and collectible value.
