Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler coin from the Principality of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel is that it features an image of a white swan on one side, which is where the coin gets its name "Weißer Schwan" (White Swan) from. The swan was a symbol of the House of Brunswick, the ruling dynasty of the principality, and was used on many of their coins.
