Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great change and upheaval in Europe, particularly in the German States. The coin was minted during the reign of Christof Louis II and Frederick Botho, who ruled the County of Stolberg-Stolberg from 1739 to 1761. During this time, the German States were experiencing significant political and economic changes, including the rise of absolutism and the decline of feudalism. Despite these changes, the County of Stolberg-Stolberg managed to maintain its independence and sovereignty, and the coin remains a testament to the region's rich history and cultural heritage.
