The 1 Groschen coin from the County of Stolberg-Stolberg, minted between 1741 and 1758, features a unique combination of two rulers on its obverse side. Christof Louis II and Frederick Botho, who were both counts of the House of Stolberg, are depicted together on the coin, with Christof Louis II on the left and Frederick Botho on the right. This dual portrait design was a rare occurrence in coinage during that time period, making the coin a notable and interesting piece in numismatic collections.
