Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler coin from the Counts of Dietrichstein is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the initials "S" and "H" on either side of the coat of arms, which stands for the name of the ruler, Sigismund Helfried. This detail highlights the personal touch that the Counts of Dietrichstein added to their coins, making them stand out from other coins of the time.
