| Additional information |
Christian Ludwig ruled Brunswick-Lüneburg-Celle at a moment when the Harz silver mines were producing enough to justify Ausbeute coinage — pieces struck specifically from mine-yield silver as a form of ceremonial accounting between the duke and his mining operations. The Löser designation places this among the large-format multiples that circulated more as diplomatic gifts and presentation pieces than as transactional currency; a 3-Thaler Löser was the kind of object sent to a court, not spent at a market.
The Müseler reference anchors this firmly in the specialized Harz mining coinage literature, where Ausbeute pieces are catalogued by mine district and reign. Welter 1496 confirms the 1664 dating within Christian Ludwig's issue sequence before his death the following year.
