Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in the Principality of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel. The coin was issued by Rudolph August, who was the ruling duke at the time, and it was part of a series of reforms he implemented to stabilize the economy and strengthen the state's finances. The coin's design, which features an image of the duke on one side and the coat of arms of the principality on the other, reflects the political and cultural influences of the time.
