Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 5 Thalers coin from Brunswick-Lüneburg-Celle is that it features a unique design element - the portrait of Christian Louis, the ruler of the region, is surrounded by a wreath made up of stalks of wheat, which symbolizes fertility and prosperity. This design was meant to convey the idea that the ruler was a benevolent leader who brought prosperity to his people.
