Comment
This type is also cited by Welter as having a mass of 350 g.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 12 Thalers coin from Brunswick-Lüneburg-Celle is that it features a unique design element - the portrait of Christian Louis, the ruler of the region, is surrounded by a wreath made of stylized leaves and berries. This design was meant to symbolize the connection between the ruler and the natural world, and was a departure from the more traditional designs found on coins of the time.
