Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler coin from Brunswick-Lüneburg-Calenberg is that it features an image of Ernest August, the Duke of Brunswick-Lüneburg, on one side, and a depiction of the Brunswick Lion on the other. The coin was minted during Ernest August's reign from 1682 to 1687 and was used as a standard circulation coin in the German States.
