Comment
Struck from same dies as Ducat, KM# 124Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ⅙ Thaler coin from the County of Stolberg-Stolberg is that it features a unique combination of co-rulers on its obverse side. The coin bears the portraits of Christof Frederick and Jost Christian, who were concurrently ruling the county as co-regents in 1706. This is a distinctive feature, as it was not common for coins of that era to depict multiple rulers together.
