Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1/12 Thaler coin from the Principality of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel is that it features a unique combination of two portraits on its obverse side - Rudolph August and Anthony Ulrich. This double portrait was a deliberate design choice, as both rulers were jointly reigning over the principality at the time of the coin's minting. This coin is a rare example of a coin that has two heads, making it a fascinating piece for collectors and historians alike.
