Interesting fact
The Frederick Ulrich (Kipper) 1620 coin was part of a series of coins issued during the Thirty Years' War, a devastating conflict that lasted from 1618 to 1648. The coin was minted in silver, and its design features the image of a shield with the Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel coat of arms, surrounded by the inscription "FRIEDRICH ULRICH HERTZOG ZU BRVNSWICK UND LVNEBVRG" (Frederick Ulrich, Duke of Brunswick and Lüneburg). Despite the turmoil caused by the war, the coin's minting was an attempt to maintain economic stability and ensure the continued use of a standardized currency in the region.
