Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler coin from the Royal Mint of Silesia, minted during the reign of Rudolf II (1587-1588), is that it features a unique design element - a small image of a shield with the Habsburg coat of arms, which was added to the coin's reverse side to signify the Habsburg dynasty's influence and control over the region.
