Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The Principality of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel was a small state in what is now northern Germany, and the coin was minted during the reign of Charles William Ferdinand, who ruled from 1794 to 1806. This was a period of significant upheaval, as the French Revolution and the Napoleonic Wars were taking place, and many German states were facing economic and political challenges. Despite these challenges, the 10 Thalers coin remained a popular and widely used denomination, and it continues to be a sought-after collector's item today.
