Comment
Varieties exist.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique combination of five different rulers on its obverse side. The coin was issued during a time of political turmoil in the County of Stolberg, with multiple rulers vying for power. This is reflected in the coin's design, which includes the portraits of Albert George, Christof I, Wolf Ernest, John, and Henry XXII, all of whom played a significant role in the county's history during this period. This coin is a rare example of a coin that captures the complex political landscape of a particular time and place in such a visually striking way.
