Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler coin from Duchy of Saxe-Weimar is that it features a unique design element - a small portrait of William and his two brothers on the obverse side, surrounded by a decorative border. This design was a departure from the traditional single-person portrait found on most coins of that time, and it added an extra layer of visual interest to the coin. Additionally, the use of silver in the coin's composition gave it a high level of durability and made it a valuable currency in its time.
