Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2½ 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 1742, just a few years before the Seven Years' War, which had a significant impact on the economy and trade of many European countries, including Germany. Despite this, the coin still maintains its value and rarity, making it a highly sought-after collector's item for numismatists today.
