Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 3 Thalers - Ernest August of Osnabrück 1680 coin is that it features an image of Ernest August, the Duke of Brunswick-Lüneburg-Calenberg, on one side, and a depiction of the Holy Roman Empire's eagle on the other. This coin was minted to commemorate Ernest August's appointment as the Prince-Bishop of Osnabrück in 1680, and it is considered a rare and valuable collector's item among numismatists today.
