Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1/24 Thaler - Dorothea 1612-1617 from Abbey of Quedlinburg (German States) coin is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the letter "D" on the reverse side, which stands for "Dorothea," the name of the abbess who ruled the Abbey of Quedlinburg during that time. This coin was minted during her reign, and the inclusion of her initial on the coin was a way to honor her leadership and legacy.
