Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler - Henry Julius (Ausbeutetaler) 1601-1611 from Principality of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel (German States) coin is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in the region. The Principality of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel was a small state in what is now northern Germany, and it was struggling to maintain its independence and economic stability in the face of larger and more powerful neighboring states. Despite these challenges, the coinage of the Principality remained consistent and of high quality, with the 1 Thaler coin being a prime example. It was made of silver and weighed 28.76 grams, making it a valuable and reliable form of currency for the time.
