Interesting fact

The 3 Kreuzers coin from the Principality of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel features an image of Frederick Ulrich, also known as "Kipper," who was the ruling duke at the time the coin was minted. The coin's design includes a unique feature - the duke's portrait is surrounded by a wreath made up of 30 small crosses, which gives the coin its name "3 Kreuzers." This distinctive design element was used to symbolize the duke's role as a protector of the Christian faith.
