Comment
Mintmaster - Heinrich ÖckelerInteresting fact
The 1½ Thaler coin from the Principality of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel, minted in 1612 during the reign of Henry Julius (Löser), features an interesting design element - a unique combination of two coats of arms on the reverse side. The first coat of arms belongs to the House of Welf, which was the ruling dynasty of the Principality, while the second coat of arms represents the House of Lüneburg, which was a powerful noble family in the region. This combination symbolizes the alliance between the two families and highlights the complex political landscape of the German States during that time.
