Interesting fact
The 1 Thaler coin from Brunswick-Lüneburg-Calenberg, minted during the reign of Christian Louis (1643-1665), was made of silver and was used as a standard circulation coin in the German States. What's interesting about this coin is that it features a unique design element - a small hole in the center of the coin, known as a "Schnee," which was added to prevent the coin from being counterfeited. This feature was a common practice in the minting of coins during that time period, and it's a distinctive characteristic that sets this coin apart from others of its era.
