Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler coin from the Principality of Dannenberg is that it features an image of Julius Ernest, the ruling prince at the time, on one side, and an image of the coat of arms of the principality on the other. This coin was minted during a time of great economic and political change in the region, and its design reflects the influences of the Renaissance and the Protestant Reformation.
