Interesting fact
The 1 Thaler coin from the Principality of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel, minted in 1706 during the reign of Anthony Ulrich, features an unusual design on its reverse side. Instead of the typical image of a coat of arms or a monarch, the coin bears a depiction of a werewolf, which was a symbol of the principality. This unique design choice was meant to represent the region's reputation for producing high-quality silver, which was said to be as "pure as a werewolf's fur." This coin is now highly sought after by collectors for its rarity and historical significance.
