Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1¼ Thaler coin from House of Fraunberg-Haag is that it features a unique combination of Christian and pagan symbols. On one side, the coin bears the image of Ladislaus, the ruler of the county, surrounded by the Latin inscription "LADISLAUS • D • G • CO • HAAC • DVX" (Ladislaus, by the grace of God, Count of Haag, Duke). On the other side, the coin depicts a scene from ancient mythology, showing the goddess Diana and her companion, accompanied by the Latin inscription "DIANA • ET • ACTE • DEI • MATRIS • AMORIS" (Diana and Acte, the love of the goddess). This blending of religious and mythological themes is a rare example of the cultural exchange and syncretism that occurred during the Renaissance period.
