Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Ducat - Rudolph August 1680 from Principality of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel (German States) coin is that it features an image of Rudolph August, the ruling duke at the time, on one side, and the coat of arms of the Principality of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel on the other. This coin was minted during a time of great cultural and artistic achievement in the region, and its design reflects the Baroque style that was popular during that period.
