Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique double portrait of both Christof Louis II and Frederick Botho, who were co-rulers of the County of Stolberg-Stolberg in Germany during the time the coin was minted (1740-1756). This double portrait design was a deliberate choice to reflect the joint rule of the two leaders, and it adds a distinctive touch to the coin's design.
