| Aanvullende informatie |
The Glockentaler — "bell thaler" — takes its name from the bells cast from captured Swedish artillery after Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel forces retook the town of Wolfenbüttel in 1643, ending a Swedish occupation that had begun in 1627. Duke August the Younger ordered the bells hung in the Beatae Mariae Virginis church, and the thalers struck that same year commemorated both the military victory and the consecration.
Dav. 6366B distinguishes this specific die pairing within a series that exists in several recognized variants. The occupation had lasted sixteen years.
