Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler coin from County of Henneberg-Schleusingen is that it features a unique design element - a stylized letter "W" on the reverse side, which represents the initial of the ruler, William V. This distinctive feature makes it stand out from other coins of the same era and region.
