Interesting fact
The ¼ Thaler coin from the County of Stolberg-Stolberg, minted during the reign of John Martin I (1646-1649), features an unusual design on its reverse side. Instead of the typical coat of arms or other symbol of the county, the coin features a depiction of a wild boar, which was a common animal in the region. This unique design choice was likely intended to symbolize the county's connection to the natural world and its abundant resources.
