Interesting fact

The 2 Groshen coin from Moldavia (Moldavia and Wallachia) made of Silver weighing 1.78g was minted during the joint reign of Stephen II and Iliaş ND (1436-1442). This coin is notable for its unique design, featuring the images of both rulers on opposite sides, which was a rare practice in coinage during that time period.
