Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ½ Thaler coin from the County of Stolberg (German States) is that it features a unique combination of five different rulers on its obverse side. The coin was issued during a time when the County of Stolberg was ruled by a council of five princes, who were all members of the same family. This rare combination of multiple rulers on a single coin makes it a highly sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
