Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler coin from the Duchy of Berg is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the letter "B" on the reverse side, which stands for "Berg". This shield was added to the coin's design to indicate the coin's origin and to distinguish it from other coins issued by the German States.
