Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler - August (Hausknechtstaler) coin from the Principality of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel is that it features an image of a man breaking a horseshoe with his bare hands, which was a popular motif in German coinage during the 17th century. This image was meant to symbolize the strength and power of the ruling duke, Augustus the Younger.
