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 of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel from 1666 to 1704, and his brother Anthony Ulrich, who served as the Bishop of Halberstadt from 1674 to 1697. This double portrait design was a deliberate choice made by the mint masters to symbolize the unity and cooperation between the two ruling brothers.
