Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of Ernest August, the Duke of Brunswick-Lüneburg-Calenberg, on one side, and a depiction of the Harz mountains, along with the words "Harz-Ausbeute-Löser" (meaning "Harz mining profits") on the other side. This coin was minted during a time when the Harz mountains were an important source of silver and other minerals, and the coin's design reflects the region's rich mining history.
