Interesting fact
The 1 Albus coin from the County of Stolberg-Ortenberg (German States) made of Silver is interesting because it was minted during a time of great change in Europe, particularly in the Holy Roman Empire. The coin was minted in 1610, just a few years before the Thirty Years' War (1618-1648) which had a profound impact on the political and economic landscape of Europe. The coin's minting also coincided with the rise of the Renaissance and the Enlightenment, which brought about significant cultural and scientific advancements. The fact that it was made of silver, a valuable and durable metal, also speaks to the coin's intended use as a medium of exchange and store of value.
