Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler "Jodocustaler" coin is that it features an image of Maria of Jever, who was a powerful woman ruler in the 16th century. She was the last ruler of the Lordship of Jever, a small territory in northern Germany, and was known for her strong leadership and strategic thinking. The coin was minted during her reign and bears her image, making it a unique and valuable piece of numismatic history.
