Interesting fact
The 1 Thaler coin from Brunswick-Lüneburg-Calenberg, minted during the reign of John Frederick (1669-1671), features an image of the coat of arms of the House of Guelph, which was the ruling dynasty of the Duchy of Brunswick-Lüneburg at the time. The coat of arms depicts a lion and a griffin, which symbolize the unity and strength of the region. The use of the Guelph coat of arms on the coin was a way to showcase the power and influence of the ruling family and to emphasize their connection to the region's history and culture.
