Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Thalers coin from the Duchy of Liegnitz-Brieg (Silesia) is that it features a unique combination of two portraits on its obverse side - John Christian and George Rudolph. This double portrait design was a common feature of coins during the Renaissance period, symbolizing the unity and cooperation between the two rulers.
