Interesting fact
The 1 Thaler coin from the County of Stolberg-Stolberg, minted during the reign of Christof Louis I (1693-1695), was made of silver, but it was also minted in a unique way. The coin was produced using a technique called "frosting," where the metal was frosted to create a textured, rough finish. This technique was used to create a sense of antiquity and to give the coin a more rustic, handmade appearance. This feature makes the coin stand out from other coins of the time, and it's a fascinating example of the craftsmanship and attention to detail that went into the production of coins during this period.
