Interesting fact

The 1 Pfennig coin from County of Stolberg (German States) made of Silver is interesting because it was issued during the reign of Christof II, who was a member of the House of Stolberg and ruled the county from 1622 to 1638. This coin is a rare example of a silver coin issued by a smaller German state during the early modern period, and its design features the coat of arms of the Stolberg family on one side and the image of Christof II on the other. Additionally, the coin's silver content makes it a valuable collector's item for numismatists interested in the history of German currency.
