Interesting fact
The 3 Flitter coin from the Principality of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel was issued during the reign of Frederick Ulrich, also known as Kipper, who was the Duke of Brunswick-Lüneburg from 1616 until his death in 1634. The coin was minted in 1621 and made of copper, weighing 0.61 grams. It's interesting to note that during Kipper's reign, the Principality of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel was facing significant economic challenges, including inflation and debasement of the currency, which led to the introduction of new coinage systems. The 3 Flitter coin was part of this effort to stabilize the economy and promote trade in the region.
