Interesting fact

The 1760 1/24 Thaler, 1 Groschen coin from the Duchy of Saxe-Hildburghausen features an interesting design element - a crowned shield with the coat of arms of the duchy, surrounded by a wreath of laurel leaves. This design was a common motif in coins of the German States during the 18th century, symbolizing the unity and strength of the region.
