Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler coin from Duchy of Saxe-Weimar is that it features a unique design element - a depiction of four brothers, William and his three brothers, on the obverse side of the coin. This design was meant to symbolize the unity and strength of the four brothers, who were all prominent figures in the Duchy of Saxe-Weimar during the 17th century. The coin's design was created by the renowned artist, Christian Wermuth, and it is considered a rare and valuable collector's item among numismatists today.
