Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler coin from the Principality of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel is that it features a unique combination of two portraits on its obverse side. The coin bears the portraits of Rudolph August, the reigning duke at the time, and his brother Anthony Ulrich, who was the co-regent. This dual portrait design was a deliberate choice made by the mint to symbolize the unity and cooperation between the two brothers in governing the principality. This design element sets the coin apart from other coins of the time and adds to its historical and numismatic significance.
