Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of economic struggle in the Principality of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel, and its design reflects this. The coin's obverse features an image of Frederick Ulrich, the ruling duke at the time, with the inscription "Glückslöser" meaning "bringer of luck" or "fortunate" in German. This was a nod to the duke's efforts to improve the economy and bring prosperity to his people. Additionally, the coin's reverse features an image of a mine, representing the principality's rich mineral resources and the hope for economic growth through mining. The coin's design served as a symbol of hope and optimism during a difficult time in the region's history.
