Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 2 Albus - Charles Eugene 1676-1677 from Duchy of Arenberg (German States) made of Silver weighing 1.38 g is that it features an image of Charles Eugene, the ruler of the Duchy of Arenberg, on one side, and the coat of arms of the Duchy on the other. This coin was minted during a time of great turmoil in Europe, with the Thirty Years War having recently ended, and the Dutch Republic struggling for independence from Spain. Despite these challenges, the Duchy of Arenberg was able to maintain its independence and issue its own currency, which is a testament to its resilience and resourcefulness.
