Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ¼ Thaler coin from the Principality of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in the German States. The coin was issued in the midst of the Thirty Years' War (1618-1648), which had a profound impact on the region's economy and trade. Despite the challenges of this period, the Principality of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel was able to maintain its independence and continue minting its own coins, such as the ¼ Thaler, which was an important symbol of the region's economic and political sovereignty.
