Comment
Joint issue by Stolberg-Stolberg and Stolberg-Rossla counties. Convention Thaler of 1764, Stolberg mint.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler coin from the County of Stolberg-Stolberg is that it features a unique double portrait of its rulers, Frederick Botho and Charles Louis, on the obverse side. This distinctive design was a deliberate choice made by the mint master, Johann Christian Hennig, to symbolize the unity and cooperation between the two rulers. This coin is a rare and valuable example of a double-portrait coin from the German States, making it a fascinating piece for collectors and historians alike.
