Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Thalers - Louis 1610 from County of Leiningen-Westerburg (German States) coin is that it features a unique combination of both Catholic and Protestant imagery on its reverse side. The coin was minted during a time of religious tension between the two faiths, and its design was likely intended to promote unity and tolerance. The coin's obverse side features an image of Louis XIV, while the reverse side depicts the coat of arms of the County of Leiningen-Westerburg, which includes both Catholic and Protestant symbols. This blending of religious imagery is a rare example of ecumenicalism on a coin from that time period.
