Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2½ Thaler coin 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, the German states were in the process of transitioning from a feudal system to a more modern, centralized government. This coin is a tangible representation of that historical period and its economic and political changes.
