Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique double portrait of both Frederick Botho and Charles Louis, the ruling counts of Stolberg-Stolberg, on the obverse side. This double portrait design was a rare feature in coins during that time period and adds to the coin's historical significance and collectibility.
