Comment
Mintmaster - Johann Eberhard Volkmar ClausInteresting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern ⅙ Thaler - Frederick Botho and Charles Louis 1763 from County of Stolberg-Stolberg (German States) made of Silver is that it features a unique combination of coat of arms on its reverse side. The coat of arms depicts the symbols of the two ruling families, the Stolbergs and the Schwarzburgs, which were united through the marriage of Frederick Botho and Charles Louis. This coin is a rare example of a Pattern Thaler, which was a proposed coinage system that was never implemented, making it a valuable collector's item for numismatists.
