Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique combination of five different rulers on its obverse side, which is unusual for a standard circulation coin. The coin was issued during a time when the County of Stolberg was ruled by a council of regents, and it is believed that the inclusion of multiple rulers on the coin was a way to symbolize the unity and cooperation of the different regents. This coin is a rare example of a coin that features multiple rulers and is a valuable addition to any coin collection.
