Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Ducat coin from the Principality of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel is that it features a unique double portrait of Rudolph August and Anthony Ulrich, who were both rulers of the principality at the time. This double portrait design was a departure from the traditional single-ruler portraits found on most coins, and it symbolized the unity and cooperation between the two rulers.
