Interesting fact
The 1 Ducat coin from the Principality of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel, minted in 1710 during the reign of Anthony Ulrich, features an unusual design on its reverse side. Instead of the typical coat of arms or other symbol of the principality, the coin bears an image of a miner, representing the Harz Ausbeute, a mining region in the Harz mountains where silver and other metals were extracted. This unique design was meant to promote the region's mining industry and highlight its economic importance to the principality.
