Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted to commemorate the Contract of Separation between Christof Frederick and Jost Christian, two brothers who ruled the County of Stolberg-Stolberg in Germany in the early 18th century. The contract established the terms of their separation and the division of their territories, and the coin was minted to mark the occasion. This coin is a rare and valuable piece of numismatic history, providing insight into the political and social dynamics of the time.
