Interesting fact
The 1 Thaler - August (Glockentaler) 1643 coin from the Principality of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel (German States) is interesting because 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. This design was chosen to commemorate the casting of a large bell for the local church in the city of Wolfenbüttel.
