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 in 1663, just a few years after the Thirty Years' War had ended, which had devastated much of Germany and disrupted trade and commerce. Despite these challenges, the coin still maintains a high level of craftsmanship and detail, with intricate designs on both sides, showcasing the skill and expertise of the mint's engravers and craftsmen.
