Interesting fact

The coin features an image of Frederick Ulrich, the ruler of the principality, on one side, and the other side bears the inscription "Fürstenthum Braunschweig-Wolfenbüttel" (Principality of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel) surrounded by a wreath. This coin was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe, and its design reflects the influences of the Renaissance and the Protestant Reformation.
