6 Pfennig - Anthony Ulrich

Anthony Ulrich ruled Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel until his death in 1714, but the final decade of his reign was dominated by the War of the Spanish Succession, in which Brunswick troops fought under Marlborough's coalition. Small-denomination silver issues like this sixpfennig circulated heavily among soldiers and tradespeople — the kind of coin that paid for bread, not politics. The Welter reference places it among a well-documented series, though die variation within the 1707–1713 run is not unusual for a mint operating under wartime fiscal pressure.
