Interesting fact
The 1⁄14 Thaler coin from the Principality of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel, minted in 1610 during the reign of Henry Julius, features an unusual design on its reverse side. Instead of the typical depiction of a coat of arms or other symbol of the ruling family, this coin bears an image of a wild boar, which was a popular game animal in the region at the time. This unique design choice was likely intended to showcase the region's rich natural resources and the importance of hunting as a means of subsistence and sport.
