Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler coin from the Principality of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel is that it features a unique design element known as the "Regenbogen" or "rainbow" issue. This refers to the fact that the coin's obverse (front) side features a curved line of small stars that resemble a rainbow, which was a distinctive feature of the coinage of this principality during this time period. This design element was used to signify the unity and diversity of the principality's territories and was a notable departure from the more traditional coin designs of the time.
