Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 4½ Pfennig 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 the coin's minting, and his brother Anthony Ulrich, who was the co-regent. This dual portrait design was a distinctive feature of the coinage of the Principality of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel during this period and sets the 4½ Pfennig coin apart from other coins of the time.
