Interesting fact
The ⅓ Thaler coin was minted during the reign of Ernest August, who was the Duke of Brunswick-Lüneburg-Calenberg from 1679 until his death in 1727. This coin was part of a series of coins that were minted during his reign, and it features an image of Ernest August on one side and the coat of arms of the Duchy of Brunswick-Lüneburg-Calenberg on the other. The use of silver in the coin's minting was a significant departure from the previous copper coins that had been used in the region, and it marked a shift towards the use of more valuable metals in the production of currency.
