Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ¼ Thaler "¼ Albertustaler" coin is that it was minted during the reign of Charles I, who was the Duke of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel from 1735 until his death in 1780. This coin was minted in 1748, which was a significant year for the Principality of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel, as it marked the beginning of a period of economic and cultural growth for the region. The coin's design features an image of Charles I on one side and the coat of arms of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel on the other, and its silver content makes it a valuable collector's item for numismatists today.
