Interesting fact
The coin features an image of a lion on its obverse side, which was a symbol of strength and courage in the Renaissance era. The lion is depicted holding a shield with the coat of arms of the Principality of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel, signifying the power and authority of the ruling dynasty. The reverse side of the coin bears the image of a crowned eagle, representing the Holy Roman Empire, to which the Principality belonged. This coin is a rare and valuable collector's item, with only a few specimens known to exist in mint condition. Its historical significance and artistic beauty make it a highly sought-after piece among numismatists and collectors of rare coins.
