Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler coin from the Duchy of Krummau (Kingdom of Bohemia) is that it features a unique combination of religious and secular symbols. On one side, the coin bears an image of the Virgin Mary and the Christ child, surrounded by the inscription "Maria, Mutter Gottes" (Mary, Mother of God). On the other side, the coin features a portrait of Johann Christian and Johann Seyfried, the ruling dukes of Krummau, along with the inscription "Johann Christian und Johann Seyfried, Herzogen zu Krummau" (Johann Christian and Johann Seyfried, Dukes of Krummau). This blending of religious and secular imagery reflects the complex political and religious landscape of 17th-century Bohemia, where the Catholic Church and secular rulers often had to navigate complex relationships with one another.
