Interesting fact

The 1 Thaler coin from the Duchy of Jägerndorf (Silesia) was minted during the reign of John George, who was the Duke of Jägerndorf from 1607 to 1621. The coin was made of silver and weighed 28.79 grams, which was a significant amount for a circulating coin at that time. The coin's design featured the Duke's portrait on one side and the Jägerndorf coat of arms on the other. It's interesting to note that the coin's mintage was quite low, with only a few thousand coins produced, making it a rare and valuable collector's item today.
