Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler coin from the Principality of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel is that it features an image of Charles I, the ruling duke at the time, on one side, and a depiction of the Wolfenbüttel coat of arms on the other. The coat of arms includes a wolf, which is where the name "Wolfenbüttel" originates from. This coin was minted during a time of great economic and cultural growth in the region, and its design reflects the importance of the duchy's leadership and heritage.
