The 1 Thaler coin from County of Stolberg-Wernigerode (German States) made of Silver features an image of Christian Ernest I, the ruler of the county, on one side, and an image of the Stolberg-Wernigerode coat of arms on the other. The coat of arms includes a shield with a diagonal line representing the division of the county into two parts, and a crown above the shield symbolizing the ruling family's authority. This design was used on several coins issued during Christian Ernest I's reign, making it a distinctive feature of his coinage.
