Interesting fact
The 1 Ducat coin from the Principality of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel, minted in 1733 during the reign of Louis Rudolph, is an interesting piece of numismatic history. One fascinating fact about this coin is that it was minted using the "Rudolphine" standard, a coinage system introduced by Louis Rudolph in 1732, which standardized the weight and purity of coins across the German States. This standardization made trade and commerce easier and more efficient across the region.
