Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in the German States. The coin was issued by Christian Louis, the Duke of Brunswick-Lüneburg-Celle, who was known for his efforts to modernize the economy and infrastructure of his territories. The coin's design, which features the Duke's name and title, as well as the coat of arms of the Brunswick-Lüneburg-Celle, reflects the political and cultural influences of the time. Additionally, the fact that it was made of silver and weighs 115.78 grams suggests that it was a significant coin with a high value, likely used for large transactions or as a store of value.
