Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 3 Thalers coin from Brunswick-Lüneburg-Celle is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in the German States. The coin was issued during the reign of Christian Louis, who was the Duke of Brunswick-Lüneburg-Celle from 1650 to 1657. During this period, the German States were experiencing significant economic growth and trade, which led to an increased demand for currency. The 3 Thalers coin was minted to meet this demand and was widely used in trade and commerce throughout the region. Despite its age, the coin remains a valuable collector's item today, with some examples selling for thousands of dollars at auction.
