| Additional information |
Brunswick-Lüneburg-Celle was administered by Duke Frederick during the Thirty Years' War, a conflict that devastated the Lower Saxon economy and disrupted silver flows from the Harz mining region. Thalers from this duchy in the 1630s often show irregular planchet quality — a direct consequence of wartime minting conditions rather than carelessness.
Welter 1412 distinguishes this as the second die marriage in the KM#145 sequence.
