Comment
Varieties existInteresting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler coin from the Principality of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel is that it features an image of a wolf on one side, which is a nod to the region's name and history. The wolf was an important symbol for the region and was featured on many of its coins.
