Interesting fact
The 1 Thaler coin from the Principality of Brunswick-Calenberg, issued during the reign of Eric II (1579-1581), features an interesting design element - a stylized image of a wild boar on the reverse side. This symbol was chosen to represent the region's rich hunting traditions and the boar's reputation as a fierce and powerful animal. The inclusion of this image not only adds aesthetic value to the coin but also highlights the cultural significance of hunting in the German States during that time period.
