Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 3 Thalers - Julius (Juliuslöser) 1585 coin from the Principality of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel is that it features an image of a wild man, known as the "Juliuslöser," on the reverse side. The Juliuslöser is a mythical creature that is said to have lived in the Harz Mountains and was believed to have the power to protect the region from harm. The inclusion of this image on the coin may have been intended to convey the idea of protection and security, as well as to highlight the region's unique cultural heritage.
