Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 3 Thalers coin from the Principality of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel is that it features an image of Henry Julius, also known as Henry the Loser, who was the ruler of the principality from 1568 to 1613. Despite his nickname, Henry Julius was known for his administrative reforms and his support for the arts and sciences. The coin's design, which includes a portrait of Henry Julius on one side and the coat of arms of the principality on the other, reflects the importance of the ruler and the state's symbols during that time.
