Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 12 Mariengroschen 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 result of a political compromise between the two rulers, who shared power during their reign from 1686 to 1703. This coin is a rare example of a coin that showcases the joint rule of two leaders, making it a fascinating piece of numismatic history.
