Interesting fact
The 1 Thaler coin from the Principality of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel, minted between 1714 and 1730, features an interesting design element - a crowned shield with the coat of arms of the House of Welf, which was the ruling dynasty of the principality at the time. This design was used on many coins minted during August William's reign and is a distinctive feature of this particular coin.
