Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted to commemorate the birthday of August William, the Duke of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel, in 1730. The coin's design features an image of the Duke on one side and the coat of arms of the Principality of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel on the other. The use of gold and the weight of 7 grams make it a valuable and significant coin in the history of numismatics.
