Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 8 Gute Groschen coin from the Principality of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued during the reign of Charles I, who was a member of the House of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel and ruled the principality from 1756 to 1759.
