Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique combination of two portraits on its obverse side - Rudolph August and Anthony Ulrich, who were the ruling dukes of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel during the time the coin was minted (1694-1705). This double portrait design was a deliberate choice made by the mint masters to symbolize the unity and strength of the ruling family, and it sets this coin apart from other coins of the time.
