Interesting fact
The ⅓ Thaler coin from the County of Stolberg-Stolberg (German States) made of Silver is interesting because it was minted during a time when the region was experiencing significant political and economic changes. The coin was issued in 1739, just a few years before the County of Stolberg-Stolberg was annexed by the Kingdom of Prussia in 1742. This annexation marked the end of the County's independence and signaled a shift in the region's political and economic power dynamics. Despite these changes, the ⅓ Thaler coin remains a valuable piece of history, offering a glimpse into the region's rich cultural heritage and monetary system during this time period.
