Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 2 Vereinsthaler coin from the Duchy of Nassau is that it features an image of Adolph, the reigning Duke of Nassau, on one side, while the other side bears the coat of arms of Nassau. This coin was minted in 1860, during Adolph's reign, which lasted from 1839 until his death in 1866. The use of silver in the coin's composition and its relatively low weight of 37.12 grams make it a unique and valuable collector's item for numismatists interested in German history and coinage.
