Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 4 Pfennigs coin from the Principality of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel is that it features a unique combination of two rulers, Rudolph August and Anthony Ulrich, on its obverse side. This is unusual because most coins from this time period featured only one ruler. The fact that two rulers are depicted on this coin may indicate that they ruled jointly or that the coin was issued to commemorate a significant event or anniversary during their reign.
