Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler - Julius (Brillentaler) coin from the Principality of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel is that it features an image of a wolf on its reverse side, which is where the name "Wolfenbüttel" originates from. The wolf symbolizes the region's history and culture, and it has been a part of the coin's design since its introduction in 1588.
