Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great political and economic change in Germany. The County of Stolberg-Stolberg and County of Stolberg-Rossla were both part of the Holy Roman Empire, which was dissolved in 1806, just a few years after this coin was minted. This coin may have been used as a form of currency during this time of transition, and its silver content would have made it a valuable commodity.
