Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ½ 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 featured on many of its coins throughout history.
