Interesting fact
The coin features an image of Frederick Ulrich, the ruler of the principality, on one side, and the coat of arms of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel on the other. The coat of arms includes a lion, which symbolizes courage and strength, and a crescent moon, which represents the connection to the Holy Roman Empire. The inclusion of these symbols reflects the importance of the ruling family and their connection to the larger political and social structures of the time.
