| Aanvullende informatie |
This thaler commemorates the military siege and capitulation of the city of Brunswick in 1671, when Duke Rudolph August — with support from neighboring Hanoverian and other Guelph forces — compelled the city to abandon its centuries-old status as a free imperial city and submit to ducal authority. Brunswick had maintained de facto independence from its nominal overlords for generations, a friction that Rudolph August resolved decisively through force rather than negotiation.
The Dav. ST designation places this among the so-called "Stadt-Thalers," issues tied to specific political or military events rather than routine ducal production. Welter 1837 distinguishes this as the first die variant of the type.
