Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler coin from the Duchy of Brunswick is that it features an image of William VIII, who was the Duke of Brunswick from 1830 until his death in 1884. He was known for his conservative and authoritarian rule, and his coinage reflects his efforts to maintain the power and influence of the Duchy during a time of political and economic change in Europe. Despite his controversial reign, the coin remains a valuable and sought-after collector's item among numismatists today.
