Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Ducat coin from East Frisia is that it features a unique combination of two rulers on its obverse side. The coin bears the portraits of Edzard II and John 1574, who were co-rulers of the County of East Frisia at the time. This dual leadership is reflected in the coin's design, with Edzard II depicted on the left side and John 1574 on the right. This distinctive feature sets the coin apart from other coins of the time and adds to its historical significance.
