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. The coin bears the portraits of Rudolph August, the reigning duke at the time of its minting, and his brother Anthony Ulrich, who was the Bishop of Halberstadt. This dual portrait design was a rare feature in coins of that era, making the 6 Mariengroschen a distinctive and interesting piece of numismatic history.
