Interesting fact
The 1 Thaler coin from Duchy of Jägerndorf (Silesia) made of Silver weighing 28.65g, features an image of George Frederick I on one side and the coat of arms of the Duchy on the other. It was minted in 1585 and was used as a standard circulation coin during that time. It's interesting to note that the coin was minted during a time when the Duchy of Jägerndorf was still a part of the Holy Roman Empire, and it's a great example of the currency used during that period. The coin's design and materials also reflect the influences of the Renaissance and Baroque periods, which were prominent during that time.
