Comment

Commemorative issue celebrating the Golden Wedding Anniversary of Christian Friedrich and Auguste Eleonore.

Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the marriage of Christian Frederick, Count of Stolberg-Wernigerode, and his wife, Countess Auguste. The coin's design features an image of the couple on the obverse, and the reverse bears the coat of arms of the County of Stolberg-Wernigerode. The use of gold for the coin's composition and the relatively low weight of 3.5 grams make it a valuable and collectible item for numismatists.
