Interesting fact
The obverse of the coin features an image of Anthony Ulrich, the ruling duke of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel at the time, while the reverse bears the coat of arms of the principality. What's interesting is that the coat of arms includes a image of a wolf, which is a nod to the name "Wolfenbüttel," which literally means "wolf's brook" in German. This highlights the significance of the name and the history of the region in the design of the coin.
