Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler coin from the Duchy of Saxe-Weimar is that it features a unique design element - a group of seven brothers, including John Ernest I, who ruled the duchy together from 1607 to 1612. This distinctive feature sets the coin apart from other coins of the time and makes it a notable piece in the history of numismatics.
