Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 2 Thalers - Albrecht von Wallenstein 1627 coin is that it features an image of Albrecht von Wallenstein, a prominent military leader and politician during the Thirty Years' War, on one side, and the coat of arms of the Duchy of Friedland on the other. This coin was minted during Wallenstein's rule as the Duke of Friedland, a title he received in 1625 from the Holy Roman Emperor, Ferdinand II. The coin's design and the fact that it was minted during Wallenstein's lifetime make it a unique and valuable piece of history for collectors and historians.
