Interesting fact

The 1 Flitter coin from the Principality of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The Thirty Years War had just ended, and many German states were struggling to rebuild their economies. The coinage of the time was often irregular and varied from state to state, with different rulers and cities issuing their own coins. Despite these challenges, the 1 Flitter coin remains a valuable and sought-after collector's item today, with its unique design and historical significance making it a fascinating piece of numismatic history.
