Comment
Minted from silver ore found at Grube St. Andreas.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ½ Thaler - Henry Julius (½ Ausbeutetaler) 1599 coin from 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 name of the ruler, Henry Julius. This shield is placed above the coat of arms of the Principality, adding an extra layer of detail and significance to the coin's design.
