Comment
Mintmaster - Ernst Friedrich RupsteinInteresting fact
The ⅔ Thaler coin from the County of Stolberg-Stolberg, minted in 1766, features a unique combination of two portraits on its obverse side - Christof Louis II and Frederick Botho. This double portrait design was a common feature of coins minted during this time period in the German States, and it signified the joint rule of the two leaders. The coin's silver content and weight of 12.95 grams also make it a valuable and sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
