Interesting fact

The 2 Thalers coin from the County of Stolberg-Stolberg, minted between 1719 and 1723, features a unique design element - a small shield with the initials "C.F." and "J.C.", which stand for Christof Frederick and Jost Christian, the ruling counts of Stolberg-Stolberg at the time. This coin is a rare example of a coin that bears the names of two rulers, making it a valuable collector's item for numismatists.
