Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of economic and political turmoil in Germany. The Principality of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel was one of the many German states that were affected by the Napoleonic Wars, and the coinage of the time reflects the economic challenges of that period. The use of billon, a silver-copper alloy, was a common practice during this time as it was a more affordable alternative to pure silver. Additionally, the weight of the coin, 1.39g, was also a common weight for coins of this denomination during this time period.
