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 Thirty Years War had recently ended, and the region was undergoing a process of reconstruction and modernization. The coin's design, which features Christian Louis, the ruler of Brunswick-Lüneburg-Celle, and the motto "Harz - Ausbeute - Löser" (meaning "Harz - Profit - Savior"), reflects the era's political and economic themes. Additionally, the coin's silver content and weight of 144.24 grams make it a valuable and collectible piece for numismatists today.
