| Aanvullende informatie |
Anthony Ulrich ruled Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel for over five decades and spent much of that time cultivating one of the most ambitious courts in the German-speaking world — his library at Wolfenbüttel, which Leibniz directed for nearly four decades, became a model for Enlightenment scholarship. This 1704 issue is a memorial piece, struck in the year of his death at age 74, though it preceded the formal consolidation of the Brunswick lands that would follow under his successors.
Memorial groschen of this type circulated alongside ordinary issues but were frequently preserved rather than spent, which explains the survival rate in better grades.
