Interesting fact
The 1 Thaler coin from Duchy of Jägerndorf (Silesia) made of Silver weighing 28.39g, minted during the reign of George Frederick I in 1560, features an unusual design on its reverse side. Instead of the typical coat of arms or other symbols of the duchy, it depicts a scene of a man and a woman standing next to each other, surrounded by foliage and flowers. This design is believed to represent the idea of "Concordia" or harmony, emphasizing the importance of unity and cooperation between the ruling classes and their subjects. This unique design makes the coin a rare and interesting piece for collectors and historians.
