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 (1740-1758). This double portrait design was not common in coins of that era, making it a distinctive feature of this particular coin.
