Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of John Frederick, the ruler of Brunswick-Lüneburg-Calenberg, on one side, and an image of the Harz mountains, a region in Germany known for its silver mining, on the other side. This coin was minted in 1677, during John Frederick's reign, and was used as a standard circulation coin in the German States. The fact that it was made of silver and weighs 83.42 grams suggests that it was a valuable coin at the time and was likely used for large transactions or as a store of value.
