Interesting fact
The 1 Thaler coin from the Duchy of Saxe-Hildburghausen, minted in 1781 during the reign of Joseph Frederick, is notable for its unique design. The obverse side features an image of the duke himself, while the reverse side depicts a crowned eagle holding a scepter and a shield with the coat of arms of the duchy. This design was meant to symbolize the duke's power and authority, and it was a departure from the more traditional designs found on coins of the time.
