Interesting fact
The 1 Thaler coin from the Bishopric of Hildesheim, minted in 1696 during the reign of Jobst Edmund of Brabeck, features an unusual design on its reverse side. Instead of the typical depiction of a coat of arms or other symbol of the issuing authority, this coin bears an image of a clover leaf, which was a personal emblem of Jobst Edmund. This unique design choice was likely intended to symbolize good luck and prosperity, and it adds a touch of whimsy and personality to an otherwise standard circulation coin.
