Interesting fact

The 1 Dreier 1676 coin was minted during a time of great economic and political change in the German States. The coinage of the time was based on the silver standard, and the 1 Dreier was a relatively small denomination, equivalent to 1/4 of a silver groschen. Despite its small value, the coin was still made of silver, which gives us an idea of the value placed on precious metals at the time. It's also worth noting that the City of Brunswick was an important center of trade and commerce during this period, and the coin likely played a significant role in facilitating economic transactions in the region.
