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 (1693-1694). This double portrait design was a deliberate choice made by the mint masters, and it signifies the joint rule of the two rulers during that period. This feature makes the coin stand out among other coins of the time, and it adds to its historical and numismatic significance.
