Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler coin from the Principality of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel is that it features a unique combination of two rulers on its obverse side. The coin was issued during the joint reign of Henry the Younger and Eric II in 1555, and it showcases both their names and portraits on the front side, which is a distinctive feature compared to other coins of that time.
