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 co-rulers on its obverse side. The coin bears the portraits of Rudolph August and Anthony Ulrich, who were both dukes of the principality and ruled together from 1695 to 1697. This joint rule is reflected in the coin's design, with the two dukes depicted side by side, highlighting the collaborative nature of their leadership. This feature sets the coin apart from other coins of the time, which often featured a single ruler or a generic design.
