Interesting fact
The 1 Thaler coin from Counts of Sprinzenstein (Austrian States) minted in 1717 under Johann Ehrenreich's rule features an unusual design on its reverse side. Instead of the typical coat of arms or other symbol of the ruling family, this coin bears an image of a mythical creature known as the "Lindworm," which is a serpent-like creature with a crown on its head and wings on its back. This unique design was likely chosen to represent the Count's interest in mythology and folklore, and it sets the coin apart from other coins of its time.
