Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 24 Mariengroschen coin from the County of Stolberg-Stolberg is that it features a unique double portrait of its rulers, Frederick Botho and Charles Louis, on the obverse side. This distinctive design was a result of the joint rule of the two princes, who shared the throne from 1763 until their deaths in 1769 and 1783, respectively. The coin's design was meant to symbolize the unity and cooperation between the two rulers, and it remains a notable feature of this particular coin.
