Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Ducat coin from the County of Stolberg-Stolberg and County of Stolberg-Rossla is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued in the late 18th century, a period marked by the rise of capitalism and the decline of feudalism. The coin's gold content and intricate design reflect the wealth and power of the Stolberg dynasty, which ruled over a large territory in what is now modern-day Germany. Despite being a standard circulation coin, the 1 Ducat is now a rare and valuable collector's item, highly sought after by numismatists and historians.
