Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 12 Kreuzers (Kipper) coin from the Principality of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel is that it was minted during a time of economic and political turmoil in Germany. The Thirty Years War had just begun, and the Principality was facing economic difficulties due to the war's impact on trade and commerce. Despite these challenges, the coin was made of silver, indicating the value and importance of the currency during that time.
