Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique double portrait of Christian William I and Anthony Günther II, who were co-rulers of the County of Schwarzburg-Sondershausen at the time of its minting in 1677. This double portrait design was a rare feature in coins of that era and adds to the coin's historical significance and collectible value.
