Interesting fact
The 1 Thaler coin from the Principality of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel, minted during the reign of Frederick Ulrich (1627-1635), features an image of the prince on horseback, surrounded by an elaborate design that includes the coat of arms of the principality and other symbols of power and authority. What's interesting is that this coin was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe, as the Thirty Years' War was raging across the continent. Despite the challenges of this period, the Principality of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel managed to maintain its independence and economic stability, thanks in part to the issuance of coins like this one.
