Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 6 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 depicted on the obverse (front) side of the coin, while the reverse (back) side features an image of a mining scene, representing the region's rich mineral resources and the importance of mining to its economy. This combination of a ruler's portrait and a scene related to local industry was a common feature of coins from this region during this time period.
