Interesting fact
The 1 Thaler coin from the Principality of Brunswick-Grubenhagen, minted between 1594 and 1595, features a unique combination of two portraits on its obverse side - those of Wolfgang and Philip II. This double portrait design was a rare occurrence in coinage during that time period, and it signifies the joint rule of the two dukes over the principality.
