Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 1 Thaler - John Casimir and John Ernest II 1623-1629 from Duchy of Saxe-Coburg-Eisenach (German States) made of Silver is that it features a unique combination of religious and political symbols. The obverse side of the coin depicts the two co-ruling dukes, John Casimir and John Ernest II, in a double portrait, while the reverse side shows the coat of arms of the Duchy of Saxe-Coburg-Eisenach, which includes a shield with the symbols of the Holy Roman Empire and the Duchy of Saxony. This blend of religious and political symbols reflects the complex political and religious landscape of the German States during the early 17th century.
