Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler - Wenceslaus III Adam 1574 (1573-1574) coin from Duchy of Teschen (Silesia) is that it features a unique combination of symbols and imagery on its reverse side. The coin's reverse depicts the coat of arms of the House of Habsburg, which was the ruling dynasty of the Holy Roman Empire at the time, surrounded by a wreath of flowers and topped with a crown. This design was meant to symbolize the unity and strength of the Habsburg Empire, and it was a common motif on coins issued by the dynasty during this period.
