Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 3 Thalers - Julius (Juliuslöser) 1588 coin from the Principality of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel is that it features an image of a wild man, known as the "Juliuslöser," on its 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 people of the region from harm. The inclusion of this image on the coin was likely intended to convey the idea of protection and security, and it remains a unique and fascinating feature of this historic coin.
