Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1825 Charles II 1/24 Thaler from the Duchy of Brunswick is that it was minted during a time of economic and political change in Germany. The coin was issued during the reign of Charles II, who was the Duke of Brunswick from 1815 to 1830. During his reign, Charles II implemented a number of reforms aimed at modernizing the economy and government of the Duchy. These reforms included the introduction of a new currency, the Thaler, which replaced the old system of currency based on the silver standard. The 1/24 Thaler coin was part of this new currency system and was minted in Billon, a metal alloy consisting of 37.5% silver and 62.5% copper. Despite its small denomination, the coin was an important part of everyday commerce in the Duchy of Brunswick during this time period.
