Interesting fact

The 1 Pfennig coin from the County of Stolberg (German States) made of Silver is interesting because it was issued during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The Thirty Years War, which lasted from 1618 to 1648, had a profound impact on the German States, including the County of Stolberg.
