Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 3 Pfennigs coin from the Principality of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel is that it features a unique combination of two portraits on its obverse side. The coin bears the portraits of Rudolph August, the reigning duke at the time of its minting, and Anthony Ulrich, his son and successor. This dual portrait design was a deliberate choice made by the mint masters to signify the transfer of power from one ruler to the next, and it adds historical significance to the coin.
