Coins with conjoined busts on them

Hello,

I thought it would be neat to compile a selection of our coins with two or more busts conjoined on them. ;)
So I'll start; first of all there's William and Mary:



A lot of these are going to be commemorative issues probably, either coronations or historical events:




And finally, my record- with four busts on the same face:
1981 - Jersey - 2 Pounds

There’s also a Gibraltar £2 with the Conjoined bust the same as the 2p. They are presumed to have been put into circulation by a private entity !

Some nice stuff already posted! I'll go again. :O

Starting off with some non-royals from US classic commemoratives:


George Washington and Calvin Coolidge


George Washington Carver and Booker T. Washington


James Monroe and John Quincy Adams

And a few more German royals:


And finally these two coins, the former of which I just got from Ebay:

The first commemorates the marriage of Franz Joseph to Elizabeth of Bavaria, and the second was issued for the 25th anniversary of their wedding.
The only one I have at the moment is this Belgium one with two Leopolds and an Albert on it.

What? Me Worry
Belgium seems to be especially fond of doing this.
I dont have one to show, but there is a 2005 2 euro coin with Grand Duke Henri of Luxembourg and King Albert II
commemorating the renewal of the Belgium-Luxembourg economic union.

Another Georg V coronation medal:

30 Drachmai greek dynasty comemorative (the busts are not next to eachother like on the belgian coin but the idea is the same)
