Interesting fact
The 1 Thaler coin from the Principality of Brunswick-Grubenhagen, minted during the reign of Philip II (1595-1596), features an unusual design on its reverse side. Instead of the typical coat of arms or other symbols associated with the principality, the coin bears an image of a wild boar, surrounded by foliage and other decorative elements. This unique design choice was likely intended to reflect the importance of hunting and wild game management in the region during that time period.
