Interesting fact
The 1 Thaler coin from Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The Thirty Years War had recently ended, and the Principality of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel was one of the many German states that had been affected by the conflict. Despite the challenges of the time, the coinage of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel remained consistent in its quality and design, with the 1 Thaler coin being a prime example. It was made of silver, weighing 28 grams, and featured an intricate design that showcased the coat of arms of the principality on one side and the image of a standing figure on the other. The coin's design and craftsmanship were highly regarded, making it a valuable collector's item for numismatists today.
