Interesting fact
The 1 Thaler - August (Glockentaler) 1643 coin from the Principality of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel features an interesting design element - a bell (Glocke in German) on the reverse side, which is where the coin gets its name "Glockentaler." This bell was added to the coin's design to signify the importance of the Protestant Church in the region during that time period.
