Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler coin from the Duchy of Krummau (Kingdom of Bohemia) made of Silver is that it features a unique design on its reverse side. The coin's reverse features a depiction of the coat of arms of the House of Eggenberg, which was a powerful noble family in the region. The coat of arms is surrounded by a wreath of flowers and foliage, adding to the coin's aesthetic appeal. This design was a departure from the more traditional designs found on coins of the time, which often featured religious symbols or images of rulers. The use of a noble family's coat of arms on the coin was a way to showcase the power and influence of the Eggenberg family in the region.
