Comment
Minted from silver ore found at Grube St. AndreasInteresting fact
One interesting fact about the ¼ Thaler - Frederick Ulrich (¼ Ausbeutetaler) 1616 coin from Principality of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the letter "F" (for Frederick Ulrich) placed above the coat of arms on the obverse side of the coin. This distinctive feature was added to differentiate the coin from other similar coins issued by the Principality during the same period.
