Interesting fact
The 1 Thaler coin from the Principality of Brunswick-Calenberg, minted in 1543 during the reign of Eric II, features an interesting design element - a stylized depiction of a lion on the reverse side, which was a symbol of the House of Guelph, the ruling dynasty of the principality at the time.
