Interesting fact

The coin's design features an image of Augustus William, the ruling Duke of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel at the time, on one side, and a depiction of the Reformation on the other. The coin was made of silver, which was a valuable and durable material that was commonly used for coins during that time period.
