Interesting fact
The 3 Mariengroschen coin from the Principality of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel features an image of Rudolph August, the ruling duke at the time, on one side, and the coat of arms of the principality on the other. The coat of arms includes a shield with three horizontal stripes, representing the three main regions of the principality: Brunswick, Wolfenbüttel, and Calenberg. This design was used on many coins during Rudolph August's reign and is a distinctive feature of the coinage of this period.
