Interesting fact
The 1 Thaler coin from the Duchy of Saxe-Weimar, minted between 1579 and 1581, features a unique design element - a small shield with the coat of arms of the House of Wettin, to which the ruling dynasty of Saxe-Weimar belonged. This shield was added to the coin's design to signify the unity of the various Saxon territories under the rule of the Wettin family.
