Interesting fact
The 1 Thaler coin from the Principality of Brunswick-Grubenhagen, minted in 1595 during the reign of Philip II, features an image of St. Andreas on one side and the coat of arms of the principality on the other. The coin was made of silver and weighed 28.63 grams. What's interesting about this coin is that it was minted during a time when the principality was facing economic challenges, and the coin's design was meant to convey the idea of prosperity and abundance. Despite the challenges, the coin remains a valuable collector's item today, with some examples selling for thousands of dollars at auction.
