Interesting fact

The 1⁄12 Thaler coin from the Principality of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel, minted during the reign of Anthony Ulrich (1704-1714), features an unusual design on its reverse side. Instead of the typical image of a coat of arms or a monarch, the coin bears a depiction of a werewolf, which was a symbol of the principality. This unique design choice was meant to represent the region's reputation for bravery and strength.
