Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Ducat coin from the County of Stolberg-Stolberg is that it was minted during a time of great political and economic change in Europe. The coin was issued during the reign of Frederick Botho and Charles Louis, who were both dukes of the County of Stolberg-Stolberg in what is now modern-day Germany. This was a period of significant upheaval, as the Holy Roman Empire was dissolved and many German states were struggling for independence and power. Despite these challenges, the County of Stolberg-Stolberg was able to maintain its independence and continue minting its own coins, such as the 1 Ducat, which was a symbol of the region's economic and political strength.
