Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1844 Adolphus 2 Thalers / 3½ Gulden coin from the Duchy of Nassau is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the initials "A" and "N" on either side of the crown, which stands for "Adolphus, Duke of Nassau." This distinctive feature sets it apart from other coins of the time and adds to its numismatic appeal.
