Interesting fact
The coin features an image of Frederick Ulrich, the ruler of the principality, on one side, and a crowned shield with the coat of arms of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel on the other. The coin was minted in 1620-1621, during Frederick Ulrich's reign, and was made of copper, which was a common material for coins at that time. Despite its small denomination, the coin is considered a rare and valuable collector's item today, with some examples selling for hundreds of dollars at auction.
