Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted to commemorate the death of Ferdinand Albert II, the ruler of the Principality of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel, who passed away in 1735. The coin's design features an image of the late ruler on one side and an image of his successor, Charles I, on the other. This coin is a rare and valuable piece of numismatic history, providing a unique glimpse into the political and cultural context of 18th-century Germany.
