Interesting fact
The 1 Groschen coin from the County of Stolberg-Stolberg, minted between 1763 and 1764, features a unique design element - a crowned eagle on the reverse side. This eagle is not only a symbol of power and authority but also represents the unity of the two ruling families, the House of Stolberg and the House of Schwarzburg, who ruled the county together. The eagle is depicted holding a scepter and an orb, further emphasizing the coin's connection to the ruling families. This design element sets the coin apart from other coins of the time and adds to its historical significance.
