Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1/16 Thaler coin from County of Nassau-Siegen (German States) made of Silver is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the initials "I.M." (for John Moritz, the ruler of Nassau-Siegen) surrounded by a wreath of leaves. This design was used on several coins issued during John Moritz's reign and is a distinctive feature of his coinage.
