Interesting fact
The 1 Groschen coin from the County of Stolberg-Stolberg (German States) made of Silver weighing 0.8 g, issued during the reign of Christof Frederick and Jost Christian (1709-1738), features an interesting fact. The coin's design includes the coat of arms of the County of Stolberg-Stolberg, which consists of a shield divided into quarters, with the first and fourth quarters displaying the Stolberg family's coat of arms, and the second and third quarters featuring the coat of arms of the County of Wernigerode, which was a possession of the Stolberg family. This design represents the unity and connection between the two territories under the rule of the Stolberg family.
