Interesting fact
The 1 Thaler coin from the Duchy of Jägerndorf (Silesia) made of Silver features an image of John George, the ruler of the duchy from 1612 to 1654. The coin was minted during his reign and bears his name and title on the obverse side, while the reverse side features the coat of arms of the duchy. This coin is notable because it was minted during a time of great turmoil in Europe, with the Thirty Years' War taking place just a few decades prior. Despite the conflict, the coin still maintains a high level of craftsmanship and detail, showcasing the skill of the mint masters and engravers of the time.
