Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1/12 Thaler coin from the Principality of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel is that it features an image of Charles I, the ruling duke at the time, on one side, and the coat of arms of the principality on the other. This coin was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe, and its design reflects the influences of the Enlightenment and the rise of modern nation-states.
