Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 4 Thalers coin from Brunswick-Lüneburg-Celle is that it features an image of Christian Louis (Löser), who was a prominent figure in the region during the 17th century. He was known for his military leadership and his efforts to modernize the region's economy and infrastructure. The coin's design was likely meant to honor his legacy and to promote the use of the Thaler as a standard unit of currency in the region.
