Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1⁄18 Thaler coin from the Principality of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued in 1715-1716, a period known as the "Age of Enlightenment," which saw the rise of new ideas about liberty, reason, and individual rights. This coin may have been used in transactions with merchants and traders who were influenced by these ideas, and it could have played a small role in the economic and cultural developments of the time.
