The 1 Dreier coin from the County of Stolberg (German States) was minted during a time of great religious and political upheaval in Europe. The coin was issued during the reign of Louis, Albert George, Wolf Ernest, Botho, John and Henry, who were all members of the powerful Stolberg family that ruled the county. The coin's design features the family's coat of arms, which includes a shield with six bars, representing the six ruling brothers. Despite the turmoil of the time, the coin's silver content and the Stolberg family's influence helped to establish it as a reliable and valuable form of currency in the region.
