Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique combination of two portraits on its obverse side - Rudolph August and Anthony Ulrich, who were both rulers of the Principality of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel during the time the coin was minted (1699-1703). This double portrait design was a deliberate choice to symbolize the unity and cooperation between the two rulers, and it is a distinctive feature that sets this coin apart from other coins of the time.
