Comment
Apparently falsely listed in Welter and in KM as a 1 Mattier coin.Interesting fact
The 1 Pfennig coin from the Principality of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel, minted in 1624 during the reign of Frederick Ulrich, is notable for its unique design. The coin features an image of a wolf on the obverse side, which was the heraldic animal of the House of Brunswick, the ruling dynasty of the principality. The wolf is depicted standing on its hind legs, with its front paws raised and its mouth open, as if howling. This design was meant to symbolize the strength and power of the ruling family.
