Interesting fact
The 1 Thaler coin from the City of Brunswick was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The Thaler was a widely used denomination across many German states, and the coin from Brunswick was particularly notable for its high silver content and intricate design. The coin features the image of a lion on one side and the coat of arms of the City of Brunswick on the other, symbolizing the city's power and influence in the region.
