Comment
Similar to 1 Thaler, Dav. #2797.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Thalers coin from the County of Stolberg-Stolberg is that it features a unique double portrait of its rulers, Christof Frederick and Jost Christian, on the obverse side. This double portrait was a deliberate design choice, as the two rulers were brothers and co-regents of the county, and it symbolized their unity and shared power. This coin is a rare and valuable example of a coin that highlights the complexities of power sharing in a monarchical system.
