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 economic and political turmoil in Germany. The coin was issued in 1815, just after the Napoleonic Wars, which had caused widespread economic disruption and inflation across Europe. Despite these challenges, the coin was made of gold (.900) and weighed 3.33 grams, indicating that it was still considered a valuable and reliable form of currency during this time.
