Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ¼ Thaler coin from the County of Stolberg (German States) is that it features four different rulers: Louis II, Albert George, Christoph I, and Wolf Ernest. This is unusual because most coins typically feature only one ruler or a single image. The fact that this coin has four different rulers suggests that it may have been a special issue or commemorative coin, possibly minted to mark a significant event or occasion. Additionally, the fact that it is made of silver adds to its value and rarity, making it a highly sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
