Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique combination of two portraits on its obverse side - Rudolph August and Anthony Ulrich, who were both rulers of the Principality of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel in the late 17th century. This double portrait design was a deliberate choice to symbolize the unity and cooperation between the two rulers, and it sets the coin apart from other coins of the time that typically featured a single ruler or a generic design.
