Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ½ Thaler coin from the Principality of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the letter "H" in the center, which represents the initial of Henry Julius, the ruler of the principality at the time the coin was minted. This distinctive feature sets the coin apart from other coins of the same era and makes it a sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
