Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 24 Mariengroschen coin from the Principality of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel is that it features a unique combination of two portraits on its obverse side - Rudolph August and Anthony Ulrich. This double portrait design was a deliberate choice made by the mint master, Johann Georg von Langen, to symbolize the unity and cooperation between the two ruling dukes. This coin is a rare example of a coin that showcases the joint rule of two leaders, making it a fascinating piece of numismatic history.
