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 Harz mountains on the other. The coin was minted during Ernest August's rule from 1683 to 1687 and was used as a standard circulation coin in the German States. The use of a ducal portrait on one side and a regional landscape on the other was a common design feature of coins during this time period.
