Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique double portrait of its rulers, Ernest and Louis Christian, on the obverse side. This distinctive design was a deliberate choice made by the mint master, Johann Georg von Haxthausen, to highlight the joint rule of the two brothers. This coin is a rare example of a coin that has been signed by both the mint master and the rulers, making it a highly sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
