Interesting fact
The coin features an image of a wolf on its reverse side, which is where the name "Wolfenbüttel" comes from. The wolf is depicted holding a shield with the coat of arms of the Brunswick family. This design was meant to symbolize the strength and power of the ruling family, and it has become a distinctive feature of the coin.
