Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Thalers coin from the Principality of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel is that it features an image of Henry Julius, the ruling prince at the time, on one side, and the coat of arms of the principality on the other. This coin was minted during a time of great cultural and artistic flourishing in the region, and its design reflects the Renaissance influences that were prevalent during that period. Additionally, the use of silver in the coin's minting adds to its historical significance, as silver was a valuable and sought-after metal at the time.
