Interesting fact
The 1 Dreier coin from Einbeck was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Germany. The coin was issued during the reign of Duke Johann Wilhelm, who ruled the Duchy of Brunswick-Lüneburg, which was a powerful state in northern Germany. The coin's minting was likely a response to the growing need for a standardized currency in the region, as the use of foreign coins and bartering had become increasingly common. The 1 Dreier coin was made of silver, which was a valuable and widely accepted metal at the time, and it featured an image of the Duke on one side and the Einbeck coat of arms on the other. Despite its historical significance, the 1 Dreier coin is relatively rare today and is highly sought after by collectors.
