Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Dreier coin from the County of Stolberg (German States) is that it was minted during a time of great political upheaval in the region. The coin was issued in 1556-1557, during the reign of Louis II, Henry XXI, Albert George, and Christian I, who were all members of the powerful House of Stolberg. This family ruled over a large and influential territory in central Germany, and their rule had a significant impact on the region's politics, economy, and culture. Despite the turmoil of the time, the 1 Dreier coin remains a valuable and sought-after collector's item, a testament to the enduring legacy of the House of Stolberg.
