Comment
Minted in StolbergInteresting fact
The ½ Thaler coin from County of Stolberg-Wernigerode (German States) made of Silver weighing 14.56 g has an interesting fact that it was minted during the reign of Christian Ernest, Count of Stolberg-Wernigerode, who was a prominent figure in the German States during the 18th century. He was known for his military career and his efforts in promoting the arts and culture. This coin is a testament to his legacy and a reflection of the economic and political climate of the time.
