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 denominations and metals being used. The 1 Flitter coin, made of copper and valued at 1/12th of a silver groschen, was an attempt to standardize currency and facilitate trade across the region. Despite its humble value, the coin is now a rare and valuable collector's item, offering a glimpse into the complex monetary systems of early modern Europe.
