Comment
Mintmaster - Johann Jeremias GründlerInteresting fact
The Pattern ½ Ducat - Christoph Frederick (Silver pattern strike) 1715 from County of Stolberg-Stolberg (German States) made of Silver is a rare and valuable coin, with only a few known examples existing today. One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design, with a portrait of Christoph Frederick, the Count of Stolberg-Stolberg, on one side, and an image of the Stolberg coat of arms on the other. This coin is considered a significant piece of numismatic history, as it represents a brief period of time when the County of Stolberg-Stolberg was an independent state before it was absorbed into the larger German state of Prussia.
