1 Thaler - Henry Julius Rebellentaler

Henry Julius, Prince of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel, issued this so-called "Rebellentaler" in direct response to a revolt by the citizens of Brunswick in 1293 — a conflict he ultimately suppressed by force, stripping the city of its privileges and imposing punitive terms on the burghers. The coin was struck as a deliberate act of political assertion, commemorating his victory over the rebellious city rather than any military campaign against an external enemy.

The Dav GT I reference places it firmly within the German Taler series, but its propagandistic function sets it apart from routine territorial coinage of the period.
