Interesting fact
The 1 Thaler coin from the Principality of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel, minted during the reign of Frederick Ulrich (1613-1615), features an image of the prince on horseback, surrounded by an ornate border. What's interesting is that this coin was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe, with the Thirty Years' War (1618-1648) taking place just a few years after the coin was minted. Despite the turmoil of the time, the coin remains a valuable piece of numismatic history, with some examples selling for thousands of dollars at auction.
