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 was struggling to rebuild its economy. The coin was minted with a unique design, featuring the image of a lion on one side and the coat of arms of the principality on the other. Despite its silver content, the coin was not widely accepted outside of the principality, and its value fluctuated greatly due to the economic instability of the time. Today, the coin is a rare and valuable collector's item, with some examples selling for thousands of dollars at auction.
