Comment
Later issues with other privy mark are Restrikes.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Thalers coin from the Principality of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel is that it features an image of a wolf on one side, which is where the name "Wolfenbüttel" comes from. The wolf was a symbol of the region and was featured on many coins from this time period.
