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 turmoil in Germany. The coin was issued during the reign of George IV, who was the Duke of Brunswick from 1816 to 1819. During this period, the German states were facing economic challenges and political instability, which led to the creation of the German Confederation in 1815. Despite these challenges, the 2½ Thaler coin remained a popular form of currency and a symbol of the Duchy of Brunswick's economic and political power.
