Comment
Minted from silver ore found at Grube St. AndreasInteresting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler - Henry Julius (Ausbeutetaler) 1596-1598 from Principality of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel (German States) is that it was minted during a time of economic struggle in the region. The Principality of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel was facing financial difficulties, and the minting of this coin was a way for the government to generate revenue and pay off debts. Despite the economic challenges, the coin was made with high-quality silver, indicating the value placed on currency and trade during that time.
