Interesting fact
The coin features an image of Frederick Ulrich, the ruler of the principality, on one side, and a depiction of the Brunswick Lion on the other. The lion is a symbol of the House of Guelph, which ruled the principality at the time. The coin's design was meant to showcase the power and authority of the ruling family, and it's a great example of the artistic and cultural achievements of the time.
