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 in the late 18th century, a time of Enlightenment and revolution, and features the profiles of two rulers, Charles Louis and Henry Christian Frederick, who ruled the County of Stolberg-Stolberg and the County of Stolberg-Rossla, respectively. This coin serves as a tangible reminder of the complex political landscape of Europe during this time period.
