Interesting fact
The 12 Kreuzer coin from the Principality of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel, also known as the "Kipper" coin, was issued during a time of economic turmoil in the early 17th century. The coin was introduced as a replacement for the previously used "Kipper" currency, which had become devalued due to excessive printing. The 12 Kreuzer coin was made of silver and had a value of 12 Kreuzer, which was equivalent to 1/4 of a thaler. Despite its small denomination, the coin was well-received by the public and helped to stabilize the economy in the region. Today, the 12 Kreuzer coin is a rare and highly sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
