Interesting fact

The Ulrich III Zwittertaler coin from the Duchy of Mecklenburg-Güstrow is notable for its unique design, which features a double-headed eagle on one side and a portrait of Ulrich III on the other.

The coin's unusual design has made it a popular collector's item among numismatists.
