⅙ Thaler - Charles I

Charles I of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel ruled for over half a century, but the years spanning this issue were dominated by the Seven Years' War, which drew Brunswick directly into conflict as Charles aligned the principality with Britain and Prussia. Brunswick troops served under Ferdinand of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel — Charles's own brother — during campaigns across Westphalia and Hanover. Coinage of this period was under constant pressure from wartime silver demands and subsidiary monetary arrangements with allied powers.

The Welter 2749 attribution places this firmly within a well-documented emission, though minor die variations across the twelve-year span are known.
