Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler coin from the Principality of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the letter "H" in the center, which represents the coat of arms of Henry the younger, the ruler of the principality at the time the coin was minted.
