Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ⅛ Thaler coin from the Principality of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel is that it features an image of a wolf on its reverse side, which is a nod to the region's name and history. The wolf was an important symbol for the principality and was often featured on coins and other official symbols. This coin, in particular, was minted during the reign of Duke August William, who ruled from 1715 to 1723 and was known for his efforts to modernize and strengthen the region's economy.
