Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 6 Pfennige coin from the Principality of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel is that it features a unique double portrait of Rudolph August and Anthony Ulrich, who were the ruling dukes of the principality at the time. This double portrait design was a departure from the traditional single-portrait design used on most coins and was a distinctive feature of the Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel coinage during this period.
