Comment
Variation of this coin with the lion in a shield:Interesting fact
The 12 Kreuzer coin from Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel was minted during the reign of Frederick Ulrich, also known as "Kipper," who was the Duke of Brunswick-Lüneburg from 1613 to 1634. The coin was made of silver and features an image of the Duke on one side and the coat of arms of the Principality on the other. The coin was used as a standard circulation coin in the German States during that time. It's worth noting that the coin's design and mintage were significant because they represented the political and economic influence of the Principality of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel during the early 17th century. The coin's silver content also made it a valuable commodity, and it was likely used for trade and commerce within the region.
