Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler coin from the Principality of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel is that it features an image of a wolf on one side, which is where the name "Wolfenbüttel" comes from. The wolf symbolized the strength and resilience of the region and was a popular image on coins from this time period.
