Interesting fact
The 1/24 Thaler coin from the County of Barby (German States) made of Silver weighing 1.47g is interesting because it was issued during the reign of Wolfgang Frederick, who was a minor at the time, and it features an image of the young prince on horseback, signifying the passing of power from one generation to the next.
