Interesting fact
The 1 Thaler coin from the County of Hohenzollern, minted in 1544 during the reign of Jost Nicholas II, features an unusual design on its reverse side. Instead of the typical coat of arms or other symbol of the issuing authority, the coin bears an image of a wild boar, which was a popular game animal in the region at the time. This unique design choice was likely intended to showcase the region's rich natural resources and the importance of hunting as a means of sustenance and sport.
