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 of the coin's minting, and his brother Anthony Ulrich, who was the Bishop of Halberstadt. This double portrait design was a departure from the traditional single portrait design commonly used on coins during that era, making it a distinctive feature of this particular coin.
