Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1796 1/12 Thaler coin from the County of Stolberg-Stolberg and County of Stolberg-Rossla is that it features a unique double portrait of Charles Louis and Henry Christian Frederick, the ruling princes of the county at the time. This double portrait design was a departure from the traditional single portrait design commonly used on coins and was meant to symbolize the unity and cooperation between the two ruling families.
