Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 1 Thaler - John Frederick I and George 1534-1535 from Electorate of Saxony (Ernestinian Line) (German States) made of Silver is that it features a unique combination of two portraits on its obverse side. The coin bears the portrait of John Frederick I, the Elector of Saxony, and his son George, who was the Duke of Saxony. This dual portrait design was a rare feature in coins of that time period, and it signifies the importance of the relationship between the two rulers and their shared power.
