Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Thalers - Louis 1546 from Stolberg-Königstein is that it features a unique coat of arms on its reverse side. The coat of arms depicts a shield with a diagonal split between the counts of Königstein and the counts of Stolberg, symbolizing the unity between the two families. This design was specifically chosen to represent the alliance between the two families and to highlight their shared power and influence in the region.
