Comment
Schleusingen mintInteresting fact
The 1 Thaler coin from the County of Henneberg-Schleusingen, minted during the reign of George Ernest (1569-1572), features an unusual design on its reverse side. Instead of the typical coat of arms or other symbols associated with the county or ruler, the coin bears an image of a wild boar. This design choice was likely intended to symbolize the region's rich hunting traditions and the importance of wild game to the local economy.
