Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The late 18th century saw the rise of the Enlightenment and the fall of feudalism, and the Principality of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel was no exception. The coin's design, featuring an image of Charles William Ferdinand, Duke of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel, reflects the shift towards more secular and humanist values. Additionally, the use of silver in the coin's minting was a significant departure from the traditional use of copper in earlier coins, indicating a growing emphasis on trade and commerce.
