Those are some great looking castles on those coins. Never heard people even mentioning castles on coins before. Usually it is noted about ships, dogs, planes, horses, etc. but a castle, not usually. First thing I wondered is if there is a Transavania coin with the Frankenstein Castle on it or was that the Dracula one?

This conder token was issued by a town very close to me, showing the old keep. Its in awful condition here, but this is a rare image of it before its various restorations. The whole obverse shows just the castle as it was in the 1790s.

Here it is, the only known one to exist, no other examples of this die:
