| Aanvullende informatie |
August Frederick, eldest son of Anthony Ulrich, died in 1676 before reaching an age that would have placed him in the ducal succession with any real political weight — his death was that of a young prince, not a reigning one. Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel had a well-established tradition of issuing memorial thalers for members of the ruling house, and the practice was prolific enough under the Welfs that individual dies were often commissioned for even minor dynastic losses.
Welter 2349 is specific to this death issue under Rudolph August, who held the principality jointly with Anthony Ulrich from 1685 — though in 1676 he ruled alone, making this coin his commission exclusively.
