Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great political and social change in Germany. The County of Stolberg-Stolberg and the County of Stolberg-Rossla were both part of the Holy Roman Empire, which was dissolved in 1806. This coin was minted during the transition period between the Holy Roman Empire and the German Confederation, which was formed in 1815. This coin is a tangible piece of history that represents a significant moment in the political and economic development of Germany.
