Interesting fact
The 1 Thaler coin from the County of Schwarzburg, which was issued during the reign of Günther XLI and John Günther between 1569 and 1571, features an unusual design on its reverse side. Instead of the typical coat of arms or other symbols associated with the ruling family, the coin bears an image of a wild boar, which was a popular game animal in the region at the time. This unique design choice was likely intended to showcase the region's rich natural resources and the importance of hunting as a means of sustenance and sport.
