Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ½ Thaler coin from County of East Frisia is that it features a unique combination of three rulers on its obverse side: Edzard II, Christoph, and John. This is a rare example of a coin that has three different names and titles on it, making it a distinctive piece in the history of numismatics.
