Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features four different rulers on its obverse side: Ernest III, John, Wolfgang, and Philip II. This is a unique feature among coins, as it was not common for coins to have multiple rulers depicted on them. This coin was issued during a time when the Principality of Brunswick-Grubenhagen was ruled by a dynasty of four dukes who shared power, which is reflected in the design of the coin.
