Interesting fact
The 1 Thaler coin commemorating John Casimir's death in 1660 from Anhalt-Dessau (German States) made of Silver is interesting because it features a unique design that showcases the importance of the deceased prince. The coin's obverse side features an image of John Casimir, while the reverse side depicts an elaborate coat of arms with the prince's motto "Soli Deo Gloria" (Glory to God Alone) written above it. This coin was minted during a time when the German States were still using the Thaler as their standard currency, and it serves as a testament to the region's rich history and cultural heritage.
