Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler coin from the County of Schwarzburg is that it features a unique combination of two rulers on its obverse side. The coin bears the portrait of Günther XLI, who was the Count of Schwarzburg-Arnstadt, and his son John Günther, who succeeded him as the Count of Schwarzburg-Sondershausen. This dual portraiture is a distinctive feature of this coin and sets it apart from other coins of the time.
