Varieties existInteresting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler coin from the Principality of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel is that it features an image of Rudolph August, the ruler of the principality, on one side, and an image of the Wolfenbüttel coat of arms on the other. This coin was minted during Rudolph August's reign from 1667 to 1683 and was used as a standard circulation coin in the German States. The use of silver in the coin's minting process adds to its historical significance and value as a collector's item.
