Interesting fact
The 1 Thaler coin from Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel was minted during the reign of Louis Rudolph, who was the ruling Duke of the principality from 1731 to 1734. One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of Louis Rudolph himself on one side, while the other side bears the coat of arms of the principality. This was a common practice during the time, as coins were often used as a way for rulers to promote their own images and reinforce their authority.
