Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 2 Thalers - John Casimir and John Ernest 1600 from Duchy of Saxe-Coburg-Eisenach (German States) made of Silver is that it features a unique double portrait of the two rulers, John Casimir and John Ernest, on the obverse side. This double portrait was a common feature on coins issued by the Duchy of Saxe-Coburg-Eisenach during this time period, and it symbolized the joint rule of the two dukes.
