Interesting fact
The Frederick Ulrich (Kipper) 1622-1623 1 Groschen coin from the Principality of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel (German States) was made of silver, weighing 1.76g, and had a unique feature - it was one of the first coins to include a portrait of a ruler on one side and a coat of arms on the other. This design was a departure from the traditional coin designs of the time, which often featured religious symbols or abstract designs. The inclusion of a portrait and coat of arms made the coin more personal and representative of the ruler, Frederick Ulrich, and symbolized his power and authority.
