Comment
Mintmaster AL - Andreas LaffertsInteresting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great political and economic upheaval in the German States. The County of Stolberg was a small territory located in what is now the state of Saxony-Anhalt, and it was ruled by a dynasty of counts who were known for their coinage. The 1 Dreier coin was a standard circulation coin that was widely used in the region, and it features an image of Count Henry XXII and his son Wolfgang George on one side, and the Stolberg coat of arms on the other. Despite its small size, this coin is a valuable piece of history that provides insight into the economic and political conditions of the time.
