Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted to commemorate the death of August Löser, a prominent nobleman and advisor to the Duke of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel, who died in 1666. The coin's design features an image of Löser on the obverse, and an image of the Duke on the reverse, signifying the close relationship between the two men.
