Interesting fact
The coin features an image of Frederick Ulrich, the ruler of the principality at the time, on one side, and a crowned shield with the coat of arms of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel on the other. The coin was minted in 1619, during a time of great economic and political change in the region, and its design reflects the importance of the ruling family and the state's coat of arms as symbols of power and authority.
