Interesting fact
The 1 Thaler coin from the Principality of Schwarzenberg, minted in 1682 during the reign of John Adolphus, features an unusual design element - a small image of a horse's head on the reverse side. This tiny detail is believed to have been added as a symbol of the region's reputation for horse breeding and trading, which was an important part of the local economy at the time.
