Interesting fact
The 1 Thaler coin from the Principality of Schwarzenberg, minted in 1783, features an image of John the Baptist on one side and the coat of arms of the Schwarzenberg family on the other. This coin was minted during the reign of Prince Joseph II, who was known for his efforts to modernize and centralize the administration of his territories. The coin's design and symbolism reflect the political and religious influences of the time, and its silver content makes it a valuable collector's item for numismatists today.
