Interesting fact
The 1 Thaler coin from the Principality of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel, also known as the "Weißer Schwan" (White Swan), was minted during the reign of Charles I (1744-1748) and features an image of a swan on the obverse side. The swan was a symbol of purity and grace, and it was chosen as the emblem of the principality because of its association with the legend of the "White Swan," which was said to have been seen in the area where the coin was minted. The coin was made of silver and weighed 29.14 grams.
