Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in the Principality of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel. The coin was issued by Frederick Ulrich, who was the ruler of the principality at the time, and it was used as a means of promoting trade and commerce within the region. The coin's design features the image of a standing figure, believed to be a representation of the ruler, and the inscription "FRIDERICUS ULRICUS DUX BRVNSVICENSIS" which translates to "Frederick Ulrich, Duke of Brunswick." The coin's silver content and intricate design made it a valuable and sought-after currency during its time.
