Comment
Stolberg mintInteresting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted to commemorate the death of John George III, the Duke of Saxe-Eisenach, who passed away in 1710. The coin features an image of the duke on one side and an image of his widow, Christiane Wilhelmine, on the other. The coin was minted in the County of Mansfeld-Eisleben, which was a small state in what is now central Germany. Despite its small size, the state was known for its rich silver deposits, which made it an important center for coin production during this time period.
