Interesting fact

The 1 Groschen coin from the Principality of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel, issued in 1619 during the reign of Christian Ulrich, features an interesting design element - a stylized image of a wolf, which is a nod to the principality's name "Wolfenbüttel," which translates to "Wolf's Brook" in English.
