Interesting fact
The ⅔ Thaler coin from the County of Stolberg-Stolberg was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued during the reign of Christof Frederick and Jost Christian, who were both prominent figures in the region. The coin's design features the coat of arms of the Stolberg-Stolberg family, which includes a shield with three birds and a crown. The use of silver in the coin's minting was a significant choice, as it was a valuable and durable metal that was widely used in currency at the time.
