Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique triangular shape, which was a distinctive feature of some coins minted during the reign of Christian Louis, Duke of Brunswick-Lüneburg-Celle. This triangular shape was meant to prevent the coin from being easily counterfeited, as it was more difficult to produce fake coins with this shape. Additionally, the coin's design includes intricate details and symbols, such as the Duke's crown and scepter, which add to its historical and numismatic value.
