Comment
Varieties exist. Some of the above dated 1671 are known with countermark of Salzburg dated 1681.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ⅓ Thaler coin from County of Stolberg-Wernigerode is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the letter "S" on the reverse side, which stands for "Stolberg". This shield was added to the coin's design to indicate its origin and to differentiate it from other coins issued by the same ruler, Henry Ernest I, who also ruled over other territories in the German States. This small detail highlights the attention to detail and the effort put into creating distinctive coins during that time period.
