Interesting fact

The 6 Flitter coin from the Principality of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel, minted in 1621 during the reign of Frederick Ulrich, features an unusual design element - a small image of a wolf's head on the reverse side. This wolf's head symbolizes the Wolfenbüttel region, which was a significant part of the Principality. The inclusion of this image was a nod to the region's history and culture, and it adds an interesting touch to the coin's design.
