Interesting fact
The 1 Mariengulden coin from the Principality of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel features an image of Frederick Ulrich, the ruling prince at the time, on one side, and the coat of arms of the principality on the other. The coat of arms includes a shield with a crowned lion, symbolizing the royal lineage of the House of Welf, to which Frederick Ulrich belonged. This design was used on many coins issued by the principality during Frederick Ulrich's reign, making it a distinctive feature of his coinage.
