Interesting fact
The ⅔ Thaler coin from the County of Stolberg-Stolberg (German States) is interesting because it was minted during a time of great change in Europe, particularly in the Holy Roman Empire. The coin was minted during the reign of Christof Louis II and Frederick Botho, who ruled the county from 1739 to 1756. This was a time of political and economic upheaval, as the Holy Roman Empire was dissolved and the German states were struggling to maintain their independence. Despite these challenges, the County of Stolberg-Stolberg was able to maintain its independence and continue minting its own coins, such as the ⅔ Thaler. This coin is a testament to the resilience and resourcefulness of the people of the County of Stolberg-Stolberg during a time of great change and upheaval.
