Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1733 Louis Rudolph (Mule) 1 Ducat coin from the Principality of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel is that it features a unique combination of designs from two different coinage systems. The obverse (front) side of the coin bears the image of a crowned eagle, which was commonly used on coins from the Holy Roman Empire, while the reverse (back) side features the image of a lion, which was a symbol of the Duchy of Brunswick-Lüneburg. This blending of designs is known as a "mule" coinage, and it was a common practice during the time period to create new coins by combining elements from different sources. This particular coin is considered rare and highly sought after by collectors due to its unique design and historical significance.
