Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ⅓ Thaler coin from the County of Stolberg-Stolberg is that it features a unique double portrait of its rulers, Frederick Botho and Charles Louis, on the obverse side. This distinctive design was a deliberate choice made by the mint master, Johann Christian Hennig, to symbolize the unity and cooperation between the two rulers. This coin is a rare example of a coin that has two heads, making it a fascinating piece for collectors and historians alike.
