Comment
Mule of obverse of KM# 177 with reverse of KM# 167.Interesting fact
The 1722 Zwittertaler coin from the County of Stolberg-Stolberg in the German States features a unique design element - a stylized letter "V" on the reverse side, which represents the Latin word "Vir" meaning "man" or "virility". This symbol was used to indicate the coin's purity and authenticity, as it was a hallmark of the Stolberg mint. This feature makes the coin stand out among other coins of its time and adds to its historical significance.
