Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 4 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 was a deliberate design choice, as both rulers were jointly reigning over the principality at the time of the coin's minting. This distinctive feature sets the coin apart from other coins of the time and adds to its historical and numismatic significance.
