Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 6 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 result of a political compromise between the two ruling brothers, who shared power in the principality. This coin is a rare example of a coin that showcases the dual leadership of a state, making it a fascinating piece for collectors and historians.
