Interesting fact

The ⅔ Thaler coin from the County of Stolberg-Stolberg, minted in 1739, features a unique design element - a small shield with the initials "JC" and "CL" on either side of the coat of arms, which stands for Jost Christian and Christof Louis II, the ruling counts of Stolberg at the time. This distinctive feature sets the coin apart from other coins minted during the same period and adds to its numismatic value.
