Interesting fact
The Albertustaler was minted during the reign of Charles I, Duke of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel, who was a member of the House of Welf, a powerful noble family in Germany. The coin was named after him, and it features his portrait on one side and the coat of arms of the Principality of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel on the other. The Albertustaler was an important coin in its time, as it was used as a standard unit of currency in the German States and was valued at 1 thaler, which was equivalent to 24 groschen or 360 pfennigs. Today, the Albertustaler is a rare and highly sought-after collector's item among numismatists, with some mint conditions selling for thousands of dollars.
