Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler coin from the Principality of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel is that it features an image of Charles II William Ferdinand, who was the ruling Duke of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel from 1781 until his death in 1806. The coin was minted during his reign, specifically between 1782 and 1783, and it is made of silver. This coin is a rare and valuable collector's item, with only a limited number of coins minted during this time period. It is a fascinating piece of history that provides insight into the economic and political climate of the German States during the late 18th century.
