Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Thalers - Rudolph August (Zellerfeld - Löser) 1679 coin from the Principality of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel is that it features a unique combination of two different coats of arms on its reverse side. The left side of the coin bears the coat of arms of the Principality of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel, while the right side features the coat of arms of the Duchy of Saxe-Lauenburg, which was a separate territory that was ruled by the same dynasty as Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel. This combination of coats of arms reflects the complex political landscape of the German States during the 17th century and adds to the historical significance of the coin.
