Interesting fact
The 1/24 Thaler coin from the Principality of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel (German States) made of Silver weighing 2.05g is interesting because it was issued during the reign of Julius, who was a member of the House of Welf, a powerful noble family in Germany. The coin's design features an image of Julius on one side and the coat of arms of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel on the other. This coin was used as a means of payment in the region and is now considered a rare and valuable collector's item.
