Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler coin from the Principality of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel is that it features an image of Henry Julius, the ruling prince at the time, on one side, and the coat of arms of the principality on the other. This coin was minted during a time of great economic and political change in the region, and its design reflects the importance of the ruling dynasty and the local coat of arms.
