Interesting fact

The 1 Thaler coin from the Duchy of Palatinate-Neuburg, which was minted during the reign of Wolfgang William in 1625-1626, features an unusual design element - a small image of a horse on the reverse side. This horse is believed to represent the coat of arms of the House of Palatinate-Neuburg, which was a powerful noble family in the region. The inclusion of this symbol on the coin was likely intended to signify the coin's connection to the ruling family and to emphasize their authority and influence.
