Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1/24 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 during the reign of Charles I, who was a member of the House of Welf, a powerful noble family that ruled the principality. During his reign, Charles I implemented a number of economic reforms, including the introduction of a new coinage system, which helped to stabilize the local economy and increase trade with neighboring regions. This coin, made of Billon and weighing 2g, was a significant part of that effort, and it remains a valuable piece of numismatic history today.
