Comment
Schleusingen mintInteresting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler coin from County of Henneberg-Schleusingen is that it features a unique combination of Christian and pagan symbols. On one side, the coin bears the image of St. George slaying a dragon, a common Christian motif. On the other side, it features a depiction of a wild man, a symbol associated with the Germanic pagan tradition. This blending of religious symbols reflects the cultural and religious diversity of the region during the 16th century.
