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 and a griffin, which are symbols of strength and courage, and were commonly used in heraldry to represent the ruling family's lineage and power.
