Interesting fact
The 1 Thaler coin from the Duchy of Palatinate-Simmern, minted between 1572 and 1574, features an interesting design element - a stylized portrait of Richard, the ruler of the duchy, surrounded by an elaborate wreath. This design was meant to symbolize Richard's authority and status as a powerful German prince.
