Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 5 Thalers coin from the Principality of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel is that it was minted during a time of economic and political turmoil in Germany. The coin was issued in 1814-1815, during the reign of Frederick William, who was the Duke of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel at the time. The coin was made of gold (.900) and weighed 6.6 grams, which was a significant amount for a circulating coin at that time. Despite the challenges faced by the Principality during this period, the coin remains a valuable and sought-after collector's item today.
