Interesting fact
The 1 Thaler coin from the Principality of Brunswick-Grubenhagen, minted between 1571 and 1577, features a unique design element - a stylized letter "W" on the reverse side, which represents the name of the ruling duke, Wolfgang. This distinctive feature makes it stand out from other coins of the time and adds to its numismatic value.
