Interesting fact
The 1 Groschen coin from the Principality of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel, minted in 1619 during the reign of Frederick Ulrich, features an unusual design element - a small image of a wolf's head on the reverse side. This wolf's head symbolizes the coat of arms of the House of Brunswick, which ruled the principality at the time. The inclusion of this symbol on the coin was a nod to the ruling family's heritage and a way to demonstrate their authority and power.
