Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1/24 Thaler coin from the Principality of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel is that it features a unique combination of two portraits on its obverse side. The coin bears the portraits of Rudolph August and Anthony Ulrich, who were both rulers of the principality during the time the coin was minted (1691-1694). This double portrait design was a deliberate choice made by the mint to symbolize the unity and cooperation between the two rulers, and it sets the coin apart from other coins of the time that typically featured a single ruler or a generic design.
