Comment
Unedited variation of Welter 2105 with the difference that the year is in the lettering of the reverse and not in the field.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1700 Rudolph August and Anthony Ulrich 1/12 Thaler coin from the Principality of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel is that it features a unique combination of coats of arms on its reverse side. The coin bears the coat of arms of the House of Brunswick-Lüneburg, which was a powerful noble family that ruled the Principality of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel at the time. Additionally, the coin also features the coat of arms of the Holy Roman Empire, which was a political entity that existed in Central Europe during the early modern period. This combination of coats of arms highlights the complex political landscape of Europe during this time period and the ways in which different territories and dynasties were interconnected.
