Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 10 Thalers coin from Brunswick-Lüneburg-Celle is that it features an image of Christian Bischof of Minden, also known as Löser, who was a prominent figure in the region's history. He was a bishop and a politician who played a significant role in the Thirty Years' War. The coin's design was created by the artist Johann Salomon Hensel, and it is considered a rare and valuable collector's item among numismatists today.
