Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 1 Thaler - Joachim II Hector 1551 from Margraviate of Brandenburg (German States) made of Silver is that it features a unique design element - a crescent moon and stars on the reverse side, which was a symbol of the Islamic faith. This is surprising, given that the coin was minted in a Christian region during the 16th century. This feature was likely included as a nod to the Islamic world, with which the Margraviate of Brandenburg had trade and cultural ties at the time.
