Interesting fact
The 1 Thaler coin from the Duchy of Arenberg, issued in 1785 during the reign of Louis Engelbert, features an interesting design element - a crowned shield with the Arenberg family crest, surrounded by a wreath of oak leaves and a ribbon bearing the motto "Virtus Nobilitat" (Virtue Ennobles). This design was meant to symbolize the duchy's values of nobility, strength, and virtue.
