Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 2 Gulden - Charles and Charles Anthony (Mule) ND (1848) from Principality of Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen (German States) is that it features a unique combination of two different portraits on its obverse side. The coin bears the portrait of Charles, the Prince of Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen, along with the portrait of his son, Charles Anthony, who was the Hereditary Prince. This unusual design feature was known as a "mule" and was created as a result of a minting error. This error has made the coin highly sought after by collectors, and it is considered a rare and valuable piece in the world of numismatics.
