Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler coin from Duchy of Saxe-Weimar is that it features an image of William, the Duke of Saxe-Weimar, on one side, and an image of the coat of arms of the Duchy on the other. This coin was minted in 1650 and was made of silver, weighing 29 grams. It was a standard circulation coin during its time and was used for everyday transactions.
