Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Dreiling coin from the Principality of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the coat of arms of the House of Guelph, which was the ruling dynasty of the principality at the time. This shield was added to the coin's design to signify the coin's issuance under the authority of Henry the Younger, who was a member of the House of Guelph and ruled the principality from 1550 to 1562. This small detail provides a glimpse into the rich history and cultural significance of the coin, and highlights the importance of the House of Guelph in the region's governance and economy during that time period.
