Interesting fact
The 1 Thaler coin from Brunswick-Lüneburg-Celle, minted during the reign of Frederick (1637-1643), features an image of the king on horseback on one side and the coat of arms of the Brunswick-Lüneburg-Celle dynasty on the other. The coin was made of silver and weighed 28.18 grams. What's interesting is that this coin was used as a means of payment in the German States during a time when the region was experiencing significant economic growth and cultural development. The coin's design and materials reflect the wealth and power of the ruling dynasty, and its use spread beyond the local region, indicating the extent of the dynasty's influence.
