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 in 1759 and was made of silver, which was a common material for coins at that time.
