Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler coin from the County of Henneberg-Schleusingen is that it features a unique design element - a stylized portrait of George Ernest, the ruler of the county, surrounded by an elaborate wreath. This design was meant to symbolize the county's independence and sovereignty.
