| Aanvullende informatie |
Henry Julius, Prince of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel, was also a prolific dramatist — one of the first German playwrights to write in the vernacular — and the "Lügentaler" (Liar's Thaler) belongs to a polemical series he commissioned against the city of Brunswick, with which he was locked in a bitter territorial and jurisdictional dispute throughout the 1590s. The coins were instruments of public humiliation as much as currency, each type in the series targeting a specific grievance.
The Welter 628 attribution places this among the earlier strikes of the series. Die alignment and planchet quality vary considerably across known examples.
