Interesting fact
The 2 Mariengroschen coin from the Principality of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel, issued in 1704 during the reign of Anthony Ulrich, features an interesting design element - a crowned shield with the coat of arms of the House of Welf, which was the ruling dynasty of the principality at the time. This design was used on many coins issued during this period and has become a distinctive feature of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel's coinage.
