1 Thaler - Charles I Lautenthal - Ausbeute

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The Principality of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel, where the coin was minted, was a small state in what is now northern Germany, and it was struggling to maintain its independence in the face of growing centralization and modernization. The coin's design, which features an image of Charles I, the ruling duke at the time, and the coat of arms of the principality, reflects the state's efforts to assert its sovereignty and independence. Despite these efforts, the principality was eventually absorbed into the larger German state of Prussia in the late 18th century.
