Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Groschen coin from the Principality of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel is that it features an image of Frederick Ulrich, the ruling Duke at the time, on one side, and the coat of arms of the principality on the other. This coin was minted in 1619, making it over 400 years old, and it was made of silver, which was a valuable and durable material at the time. Despite its age, many of these coins have survived and are highly sought after by collectors today.
