Interesting fact
The 1 Thaler - Günther XL 1544 coin from the County of Schwarzburg (German States) made of Silver features an image of a wild man, known as the "Wildmann," on its reverse side. The Wildmann is a mythical creature that is said to roam the forests and mountains of Germany, and is often depicted as a bearded man covered in fur, holding a club or tree trunk. The inclusion of this image on the coin may have been meant to symbolize the region's connection to nature and the wilderness.
