Interesting fact
The 1 Thaler coin from the Principality of Brunswick-Calenberg, minted during the reign of Eric II (1557-1558), features an interesting design element - a unique coat of arms on the reverse side. The coat of arms combines the symbols of the House of Guelph, to which Eric II belonged, with the emblem of the Principality of Brunswick-Calenberg, creating a distinctive visual representation of the region's history and governance.
