Interesting fact
The 1 Patard coin from the Duchy of Luxembourg, issued between 1615 and 1619, features an interesting design element. On one side, it depicts Albert and Isabella, the ruling dukes of Luxembourg at the time, in a rare example of a coin featuring two people. This unique design choice was likely made to symbolize the unity and cooperation between the two rulers, and it adds to the coin's historical significance and collectible value.
