Interesting fact
The 3 Pfennigs coin from the Principality of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel, minted during the reign of Frederick Ulrich (1620-1621), is notable for its unique design. The obverse side features an image of the prince, while the reverse side bears the coat of arms of the principality. What's interesting is that the coat of arms includes a wolf, which is a nod to the name "Wolfenbüttel," meaning "wolf's brook" in German. This design element not only reflects the name of the principality but also symbolizes strength and resilience, which were valued traits during that time period.
