Interesting fact

The 16 Gute Groschen coin from the County of Stolberg-Stolberg (German States) made of Silver weighing 17.2g has an interesting fact that it was minted during a time when the county was ruled by two co-rulers, Jost Christian and Christof Louis II, which is reflected in the coin's design.
