Comment
After the liberation of the fort of Wolfenbüttel from imperial occupation on the 13th of November 1643, August decided to strike several different so called Glockentaler coins which show the bell that delivered these good news.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler - August (Glockentaler) 1643 coin from the Principality of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel is that it features an image of a bell on one side, which is where it gets its name "Glockentaler" from, as "Glocke" means "bell" in German.
