Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1856 2 Thalers coin from the Duchy of Brunswick is that it features an image of William, the reigning duke at the time, on one side, and a depiction of the Brunswick Lion on the other. The coin was minted to commemorate William's 25th year of rule, and its design was meant to symbolize the duke's power and leadership. The use of silver in the coin's minting also adds to its value and historical significance, as silver was a valuable and highly sought-after metal at the time.
