Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 12 Kreuzer coin from the Principality of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued during the reign of Frederick Ulrich, also known as "Kipper," who was a duke of Brunswick-Lüneburg and ruled the Principality of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel from 1619 to 1621. During this time, the Thirty Years' War was taking place, which had a significant impact on the economy and trade in the region. Despite these challenges, the 12 Kreuzer coin remained a widely used denomination in the German States and is now a sought-after collector's item due to its historical significance.
