Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 10 Thalers - William 1831 coin from the Duchy of Brunswick (German States) is that it was minted during a time of economic and political change in Germany. The coin was issued in 1831, just a few years after the Napoleonic Wars had ended, and the German states were in the process of transitioning from a feudal system to a more modern, centralized government. This coin, made of gold (.900) and weighing 13.3 grams, was a significant denomination at the time and reflects the economic and political shifts that were taking place in Germany during the early 19th century.
