Interesting fact

The 1622 Frederick Ulrich 1¼ Thaler coin from the Principality of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel features an unusual design element - a small image of a miner, known as the "Glückslöser" or " Ausbeute," on the reverse side of the coin. This image represents the mining industry that was prevalent in the region at the time and highlights the importance of mining to the local economy.
