Comment
Coin minted from silver ore found at the Stolberg mines.Interesting fact
The 1 Thaler coin from the County of Stolberg-Stolberg, minted between 1706 and 1707, features an unusual design on its reverse side. Instead of the typical coat of arms or other symbol of the ruling family, it depicts a scene of a man and a woman, Christof Frederick and Jost Christian, shaking hands and exchanging coins. This design was meant to symbolize the unity and cooperation between the two ruling families of the county, and it's a unique example of a coin that celebrates the value of collaboration and mutual support.
