Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Ducats coin from the County of Stolberg-Stolberg is that it features a unique double portrait of its rulers, Frederick Botho and Charles Louis, on opposite sides of the coin. This distinctive design was a deliberate choice made by the mint to symbolize the unity and cooperation between the two rulers, who were brothers and co-regents of the county. This coin is a rare and valuable example of a coin that highlights the political and dynastic relationships of the time.
