Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ½ Thaler 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 co-regent. This dual portrait design was a rare feature in coins of that era, making it a distinctive and interesting aspect of this particular coin.
