Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ⅓ Taler coin from the Principality of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel is that it features a unique combination of two portraits on its obverse side. The coin bears the portraits of Rudolph August, the reigning duke at the time, and his brother Anthony Ulrich, who was the Bishop of Halberstadt. This dual portrait design was a deliberate choice made by the mint master, Johann Georg von Langen, and it signifies the close relationship between the two brothers and their shared rule over the principality. This coin is a rare and valuable example of early modern numismatics and represents an important part of German history.
