Interesting fact

The Anthony Ulrich Death 1704 coin was minted to commemorate the death of Anthony Ulrich, the Duke of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel, who passed away in 1704. The coin's design features an image of the duke on the obverse side, while the reverse side bears the coat of arms of the Principality of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel. The coin's silver content and small weight of 2.3 grams make it a unique and valuable collector's item for numismatists interested in German history and coinage.
