Comment
Similar to 1 Thaler, KM#39.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Thalers coin from the Duchy of Krummau (Kingdom of Bohemia) is that it features a unique double portrait of its rulers, Johann Christian and Johann Seyfried, on the obverse side. This distinctive design was a deliberate choice made by the mint masters to symbolize the unity and cooperation between the two rulers, who were brothers. This coin is a rare and valuable example of early modern numismatics and a testament to the rich history of the region.
