Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 1 Thaler - Joachim Ernest 1609-1620 from Margraviate of Brandenburg-Ansbach (German States) made of Silver is that it features a unique combination of Christian and pagan symbols. The obverse side of the coin depicts a portrait of Joachim Ernest, the Margrave of Brandenburg-Ansbach, surrounded by a wreath of leaves and berries, while the reverse side features a representation of the Roman goddess of fortune, Fortuna, standing on a globe and holding a scepter and a cornucopia. This blending of religious and mythological symbols was a common practice in the early modern period and reflects the complex cultural and religious landscape of the time.
