Interesting fact
The 1 Thaler coin from Duchy of Jägerndorf (Silesia) made of Silver weighing 28.55g has a unique feature. It has a crescent moon shape on the reverse side, which was a symbol of the Duchy of Jägerndorf. This coin was minted during the reign of John George, who was the Duke of Jägerndorf from 1610 to 1654. The crescent moon shape was used as a symbol of the duchy to represent the Islamic faith, which was practiced by the ruling family of the region. This coin is a rare example of a coin that combines Christian and Islamic symbols, reflecting the diverse cultural influences of the region during that time.
