Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler coin from the Principality of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel is that it features an image of the reigning prince, Duke Augustus II, on one side, while the other side bears the coat of arms of the principality. This coin was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe, and its design reflects the importance of the ruling dynasty and the region's heraldry.
