Comment
Mintmaster - Johann Christoph BärInteresting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted to commemorate the death of Rudolph August and Anthony Ulrich, who were both members of the House of Welf, a powerful noble family in Germany. The coin features an image of both men on opposite sides, with Rudolph August depicted on one side and Anthony Ulrich on the other. This coin is a rare and valuable example of a commemorative coin from the 17th century, and its silver content makes it a popular collector's item among numismatists.
